Kenneth was a man of many interests including golfing, hunting and fishing. He was a natural born comedian, and always the life of the party who could say the funniest things with ease. He was a veteran of the US Army and later retired as an industrial coatings plant manager.

In addition to his loving wife of more than 50 years and loyal caregiver, Katherine, his memory will live on in his son, David W. Marsico; granddaughter, Megan Rowland; great-granddaughters, Skyler and Natalie Rowland.
