Kenny<br />

RESIDENT FEATURE<br />

If there’s one thing to be said about this amazing gentleman,<br />

it’s that he’s a family man through and through. When<br />

asked about his favorite things, hobbies, and growing up,<br />

we were touched to find similar answers to each question.<br />

Kenny (Kenneth) was born January 25th,<br />

1963, at the Corry Memorial Hospital in Corry, PA.<br />

That’s only a two-minute drive to <strong>Cambridge</strong> Corry,<br />

where Kenny now resides. Kenny is the youngest of<br />

nine children in his incredible blended family. His<br />

siblings (in order of oldest to youngest) are Sandra,<br />

Andrew (Sonny), Phillip, Chris, Barbara, David,<br />

Susan, and Richard.<br />

Being the youngest, by the time Kenny was<br />

born at Corry Memorial Hospital, some of his siblings<br />

were married with children of their own. Even as a<br />

young man Kenny always loved when his sibling’s<br />

families would come to visit. Uncle Kenny would get<br />

to play with his nieces and nephews, who were closer<br />

to his age than his siblings!<br />

A favorite fact we learned from our interview<br />

was that Kenny has one nephew born just two days<br />

after him! Of course, he has many more that are<br />

younger than him as well. Imagine being able to call<br />

your peer, “Uncle!”.<br />

Kenny and his parents, Naomi and Kenneth<br />

Sr, moved quite a bit in his childhood, living near<br />

Corry and Spartansburg, but also all the way down<br />

the coast to various towns in Florida.<br />

“Uncle Kenny” started school at Sparta<br />

Merged and was soon a proud graduate of Corry Area<br />

High School in 1982. To this day Kenny remembers<br />

many of his teachers and classmates and so enjoys<br />

seeing them and catching up when he and his family<br />

are out and about in Corry.<br />

The amazing thing about family is that it<br />

encompasses so many people and communities. I’m<br />

sure if you asked his old classmates and teachers,<br />

they’d tell you that there’s no one like Kenny to make<br />

everyone feel remembered and loved and brought<br />

together into one big family.<br />
