Obituary of Kenneth M. Goodrich

Webster; Ken passed from this life into the presence of Jesus, Thursday, October 27, 2016, age 58. Predeceased by brother, Bruce, and father, Ward. Survived by loving wife of 23 years, Kathy (Vandenbergh); mother Betty; siblings, Robert, and Susan (Lee) Wingert, and nieces Heather (Kent) Early, and Jennifer Wingert; brother-in-law Alan (Kathy) Vandenbergh, and nieces Heather and Leta; sister-in-law Lindy (Graham) Walker, and nieces, Hannah (Ethan) Foster, and Lucy; and treasured friends of many years. Known for his kindness and generosity to family, friends and strangers alike, Ken's self-effacing humor and gentleness will be greatly missed. He played sports into adulthood; enjoyed researching and recommending cars for friends; enjoyed hiking and bicycling with his wife while he was still able. While experiencing greater effects from Parkinson's, Ken persevered in faith and in expressing love in practical ways to his wife, family, and many others.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to National Parkinson Foundation Greater Rochester (npfgreaterrochester.org).
