My favorite memory of Uncle Richie was actually the second time I met him. The second time I met him was actually a total surprise because the first time I met him my mother and I sort of ditched him and my Aunt Karen and left him "with the tab." So the fact that he came back around was pretty surprising. What stood out to me was that he came with a bouquet of flowers for us girls as my grandfather had just passed away. He was a complete gentleman and had compassion and empathy for our loss and never brought up our first meeting. He ended up becoming good friends with my mother and "Uncle Richie" to me. He ended up being someone I could always talk to when it seemed like the rest of the family was going crazy. I spoke to him a little over a year ago on the phone after not seeing him for many years since I'd moved to Arkansas but he still had that voice I remember comforting me so many times before. Uncle Richie you will be missed.
Richard James Kenney
Richard James Kenney, From Burlington, Massachusetts, passed away on May 12, 2025, at the age of 66. In Concord NH due to a period of declining health
Born to the late Thomas Kenney and Josephine (Sousa) Kenney, Richard was a man defined by his strong work ethic and his deep roots in his hometown. For many years, Richard worked as a vinyl sider, a trade that showcased his skill, attention to detail, and physical local legacy. If you drive through the neighborhoods of Burlington and the surrounding towns, his handiwork stands as a testament to his years of hard work.
Above all else, Richard was a devoted father to his daughter, Jazmyne Griggs. He was a man who valued the simple things in life—a job well done and the company of those he cared about. He leaves behind a community of family and friends who will miss his presence and his steadfast nature.
The loved ones of Richard Kenney kindly request that you consider planting a memorial tree in their honor.
