In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
McKETTRICK, Kenneth Joseph Patrick - peacefully while residing at St. Lawrence Lodge on Wednesday, February 26, 2020. Kenneth was born March 17, 1920 in Montreal, Quebec. He was one of 7 children, born to the late Joseph and Mary McKettrick. He was married to the late Margaret McKettrick (nee Jourdanet) for 66 years and was predeceased by his 6 brothers and sisters, Eileen, Cecelia, Sidney, Vincent, Fran and Marjory. Kenneth enlisted in the Navy during the Second World War, serving as a "First Class Stoker" on the minesweeper HMCS Mahone. Following the war, he worked for Imperial Oil until his retirement in 1979. While Ken was with the oil company, he and Margaret lived for two years in Greece. They loved travelling during their marriage. Retirement for them was a busy and social time, they had many friends. Many winters were spent in Barbados and later in Florida, where Ken pursued his love of golf and shooting pool. Kenneth was an active member of the Brockville Canadian Legion as well as an active participant at Bridlewood Manor. He had many friends and enjoyed spending time with them. He was good natured and always had something positive to say to everyone. Uncle Ken will be forever remembered by us, his nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews and his many friends. Family and friends may pay their respects at the Barclay Funeral Home, 137 Pearl St East Brockville on Saturday February 29, 2020 from 1- 4 p.m. with formal words at 1:30 p.m. In memory of Kenneth, donations to the Canadian Red Cross would be gratefully acknowledged by the family.
