Daniel Joseph Kennaley

Born November 11, 1932, Dad died unexpectedly after a short illness on Saturday, September 30th, 2017 at the Brantford General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. Beloved and devoted husband of the late Alyce (nee Procter) for 61 yrs. Loving father of Dr. Rosemarie Kennaley (Tom Lemon), Dan (Jan), Martin (Monica), Charles, Michael (Mary), Joy and Brendan (Dianne). Grandfather to fifteen and Great-Grandfather of two. Known as “Uncle Bud” he will be sadly missed by siblings Gerry Forjan, Joan LeMaitre (John Jenne), Lee (Henry Dekker), Marilu (Don) Pancoe, David (Barb) and sister-in-laws Joyce Stemmler and Hilda Procter. Predeceased by parents Mary and Charles and sister Sue (Richy) Kislosky and brother-in-law Paul LeMaitre. Dan was an avid fisherman, videographer and naturalist. Dan and Alyce loved cottage life and the great outdoors. Their passions now live on in their children and grandchildren. He was known for his wit and wisdom. A man of deep faith, he counselled people from many different walks of life over the years. Dan had a long career as an electrician in the Brantford area and donated his services to family, friends and church.
