Charles Walter Kennedy

August 6, 1941 — January 10, 2019

Charles Walter Kennedy left this world last Thursday, January 10, to finally be reunited with his beloved wife Janet (2009) who paved the way for him to enter our Lord’s Kingdom.

Charles was a classic entrepreneur who ventured into many different areas in his lifetime. Starting early with a stretch at the US Geological Survey measuring river levels, where he developed a love for the land and its history, and a healthy dislike of working for other people. He formed a number of construction supply and service companies, filling various needs when he identified them. Late in life he was involved in property development of Elderly and Low-Income Housing.

Charles is survived by his two sisters Maureen Gieber and Virgina Seligar. his children Michael and wife Danielle, Patrick, Matt and his wife Patti, Daniel and his wife Molly, and Kathleen and her husband Geoff Tolbert, his grandchildren Joseph, Maria, Stephen, Elizabeth, Alex, Madeline, Gracelyn, Lilly Tolbert and his great granddaughter Reagan.
