Kenneth was a beloved partner and dear friend to his wife Margaret Elaine Cashman for over 45 years.  He was kind, compassionate, hard-working, and fun-loving. Kenneth had a great sense of humor and always came armed with a funny story to tell.  He had a passion for traveling and adventure and often took long motorcycle journeys with his friends and family. He also loved finding new “short cuts” and excursions along the way. Kenneth loved spending time with his kids and grandkids, particularly while playing marathon-long games of Monopoly.  He was affectionately known by his 10 grandchildren as “Papa.” Kenneth will be desperately missed and will be remembered by his family for his love, guidance, provision, and willingness to help whenever help was needed.
