Kenneth Farrell of Mountainville, NY entered into eternal rest on Oct. 22 at the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence. He was nearly 76 years of age.

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.
