Kenneth Eric Farrell
January 25, 1940 - October 22, 2015
Kenneth Farrell of Mountainville, NY entered into eternal rest on October 22, 2015 at the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence. He was nearly 76 years of age.
The son of William and Margaret Farrell, Kenneth was born on January 25, 1940 in Jackson Heights, New York. He is the brother of William, Kevin, and Mary. Kenneth attended Blessed Sacrament in Jamaica, Queens. He was an electrical worker for Consolidated Edison for more than 40 years. Kenneth honorably served his country as a member of the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1963 to 1965. He was an active member of the Mountainville Engine Company # 3. His children would like you to know that he was a fiercely independent and private person. He enjoyed reading and discussing the politics of the day. I think he would like everyone to broaden their horizons, keep your eyes and ears open for the truth of things. He will be missed greatly.
Kenneth is survived by his sister, Mary Rosalia of Fresh Meadows, NY, his son Kevin Farrell, daughter Kristine Shmenco both at home, and a grandson Jack Shmenco.
