Margie, Kim, Melin, Kenny, Jonathon, my sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of a Kenneth. May he rest in peace and fly high with the angels tonight!
Kenneth always had a warm smile on his face, an amazing sense of humor and a warm heart. He was all about his family as his face lit up every time, he spoke of you. For every accomplishment that you all faced in life he was proud of you all and right there by your side to encourage you to move forward and not to give up. He dearly loved you all in each and every way. He showed his devoted love to his wife, Margie or as he called her Mag.
Growing up next door to Kenneth and his family, we were all one family as we all spent time together in each house. Many times, we spent outdoors playing games, sliding, skating and much more. We all used to go down the brook just to watch Kenneth skate passed everyone as if they were stopped, but he done it backwards. I haven't seen anyone skate like him before. He always like playing tricks and jokes on us.
He always made a visit down to the house when Mom used to go up with Margie in the evenings. Kenneth would come down and have his chats with dad. They would talk about fishing, prices of everything, wood and whatever else is going on in the world. At times when Mom came home, they would be talking still, and she would say my god I can't get through the kitchen with all the nets you have put down and the wood cut. She always joked with them as well. Mom and Kenneth would sit and chat about the times of growing up in Patrick's Cove, the school days, the games they played. Now the two of them are together again with a lot more they grew up with and met over the years. I'm sure you all have a good chat now. How many times did Margie send Kenneth down for water and tell him don't be long, we heard many times I must get home now with the water, Mag wanted that about an hour ago or so. Or as the phone rang, Kenneth would grab the jar and said see ya later and went as he knew she was calling for him to get home with it.
Dad will certainly miss his daily visit and chats. They were certainly close friends for sure. Kenneth would torment dad about the gardens or the grass. But he would make dad laugh about the lawn mower in running over everything and not stopping for anything. Dad would say my god Kenneth you will ruin the blade of that. He would just laugh and say what odds I don't care. Along with playing darts together, he was one amazing dart player, He would say now Clifford Young beat that score. No matter who had the dart board up they all got together and play game after game. Out of the group who played in the houses, the only one left now is Dad. But they played against each other in dart leagues as well.
Margie, Kim, Melin. Kenny, today will be a hard day on you as you lay your husband/father/grandfather to rest. He will be forever with you through your memories, your heart and most of all your traits that he have passed on to you. He is your guardian angel and seeing his life through your eyes. Don't be afraid to lean on one another through the hard times. There are so many family and friends around who can be a leaning shoulder, a listening ear, warm hugs. It is so hard to see your loved ones pass away, but the hardest part is when you lay them to rest. But to remember he is at rest and no longer in pain. He will be sadly missed by so many people as he was loved by so many. Take care and God bless you all. Let god guide you through today and the days ahead. Don't be afraid to ask for support.
Love
Corrinna

Margie and all of the McGrath family,
I am sorry to hear of Kenneth’s sudden passing . Whenever I saw Kenneth he would always give me a big smile and friendly greeting , then he’d ask me if I was Robert’s daughter . I think he used to get me confused with Joan . Even though we were first cousins I’d probably only see him at a family gathering such as wedding or wake . I will always recall that my father thought very highly of Kenneth and used to say what a good fisherman and hard worker he was .
Unfortunately I am unable to make it out to Placentia but please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time .
God Bless you all ,
May Kenneth Rest in Peace

Margie ,Kim ,Melinda ,Kenny and Jonathon and all the family and Kenneth's brothers and sisters so sad and sorry to hear about Kenneth's passing.
It was always a delight to run into Kenneth he had the biggest smile and was so delighted to chat.
I have fond memories growing up in Patrick's Cove of going down to the Landwash on the pond all of us after school to skate and watch Kenneth and Junior skating, we were so delighted going down the point meadow to see the sparks coming out of their skates, they were the best you ever see skate.
Later in life it was a pleasure to watch Kenneth step dance, Daddy told me that he went to Mr. Pakey's every Saturday and received lessons in step dancing, it paid off he was pretty light on his feet.
Know that the memories he left behind are sealed withen the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
May those memories bring comfort in the days ahead.
God Bless , rest softly Kenneth.
Agnes and Andy .

It was with profound sadness that we learned of the passing of Kenneth and wish to send along our sincere sympathies and condolences to Margie, Kim, Melinda, Kenny, Jay and all the members of the McGrath family.
It will be 35 years ago this summer that we moved into Young’s Lane surrounded by wonderful and helpful neighbours which included Kenneth, Margie and their family. When thinking of the well lived life of Kenneth, that popular country song “Humble and Kind” comes to mind. A great fisherman who worked extremely hard to provide for his family in what we know were at times, very difficult days but he had an incredible sense of humour and you would always be greeted with a big smile.
Jay and Mark were great buddies when they were growing up in the lane and spent countless hours together. Many evenings as it was getting on dark, Margie would phone to check on Jay and a few minutes later you would see Kenneth come walking down Young’s Lane to bring Jay home. Always showing great patience and love.
Many days when Fabian and Mark needed a ride to and from school, we could always depend on Kenneth to take care of things for us. He would often stop by the house and ask whether the boys needed a ride the next day. He always showed a great interest in what the boys were doing when they finished school and moved on with their lives. He was indeed a very sincere and kind man and will be greatly missed by all especially his loving family.
I am sure Margie and the family have many wonderful and treasured memories which will be shared during the next few days as you gather together to celebrate the wonderful and productive life of Kenneth. We regret that we are not at home at the present time to join with you but rest assured we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. May Kenneth’s gentle soul RIP.

Our sincere condolences to all the family on the passing of Kenneth. No doubt he was a man of few words but had a large smile for whoever was in his presence. We both enjoyed being at his home, heard a story or two about his childhood Christmases and a scatter fish yarn. May your cherished memories comfort you over these days of grief and guide you as you go forward without him. Stay strong and lean on each other. And remember Margie….you can lean too!
