Kenneth Robert Hillenmayer

Kenneth was born on June 24, 1943, in Flushing, Queens, New York, and moved to New Jersey in 1971, where he built a life centered around family, hard work, and love.

He was a dedicated electrician who took great pride in his work and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Whether it was a neighbor, a friend, or a family member, Kenneth was the kind of man who showed up—with his toolbox in hand.

He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Selina Hillenmayer (née Gorgo), and his three daughters, whom he loved deeply: Dawn Marie Berube (husband Pat), Jacqui Juranek (husband Jim), and Erika Hillenmayer. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren, Madison, Mason, Brady, and Kenzie.

Kenneth was a devoted husband, a present and loving father, and a proud grandfather. He coached his daughters in sports, cheered them on from the sidelines, and shared his love of football and hockey with them. At home, he and his wife could often be found dancing together in the kitchen—one of the many simple, beautiful expressions of their love.

He will be remembered for his kindness, his quiet strength, and the deep love he had for his family—a quiet, steady, and unwavering presence. He will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to RBARI and the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
