Obituary of Gerald Louis Kenney

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Gerald Kenney, husband to Charlotte Leavitt, announces his passing which occurred on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at the Saint John Regional Hospital, with his 3 children by his side.  Born on January 13, 1953 he was a son to Herbert and the late Ethel (Abric) Kenney.

Gerald was a carpenter all of his life, having worked at many locations that took him across Canada. He also had the opportunity to work alongside his father.
