Kenneth Grimm Obituary
November 20, 1942 - April 22, 2021
Wallkill, NY
Kenny was a life-long resident of Wallkill. He passed peacefully on April 22, 2021 at his family home. He was surrounded by his loving friends and family. Some of them life-long friends.
Kenny was born on November 20, 1942 in Wallkill to Albert and Laura Grimm. Kenny was a farmer through and through. He ran a dairy farm for many years and still enjoyed baling hay and riding his tractor in his retirement. Kenny was a dedicated father to his two daughters and also to many of the neighborhood kids that helped on the farm over the years. In Kenny's spare time he enjoyed fixing things, classic cars and spending time with his friends and family. He never encountered something he couldn't find a creative way to fix.
Kenny is survived by his two daughters, Kendra Garzione and her husband, Jeremy Garzione, Shara Vu and her partner, Ciro Papi; as well as his granddaughters: Kasey, Madison, and Olivia Garzione. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife of 40 years, Sharon Cosman Grimm.
Thank you to all of the friends and family that have reached out with their love, strength and support to Kenny's family.

I was going to send Kenny a note saying how much I loved his Mother. But...it was a missed opportunity because I found out he had passed. His Mom would watch me after I left the one room school house on Quaker Street where Mrs. White taught. She always fed me and put me to work. Sweeping, weeding, spreading ash. I wanted to tell him what an incredible influence Mrs. Grimm was for me. So sorry. Rest in peace. Jeff Franklin. Cornwall, NY
