Kenneth was a loving Husband, Brother, Uncle, and friend to all who knew him. He devoted his life to serving others.

After retiring from military service, Ken worked several years for a coastal tug and barge corporation in the Port of Miami. He volunteered to serve on the Board of Directors of several Homeowners' Associations (HOA); first as Board President in a Miami Shores, Florida HOA and later as Chair of the Contracts Committee which he founded after moving to a Monterey, Tennessee HOA. In his spare time, Ken enjoyed woodworking.
Kenneth is survived by his wife: Susan Gray; brothers: Robert (June) Gray of Warren, New Jersey and Richard Gray of Emmaus, Pennsylvania; sisters: Carol (Gerald) Bishoff of Mendham, New Jersey and Nancy Coniglio of Equinunk, Pennsylvania; and 9 nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brother-in-law: Mario Coniglio.
