Kenneth A. Goodrich's Obituary
WORCESTER – Kenneth A. Goodrich, 93, passed away Thursday, April 2, 2015 at Robinson Terrace in Stamford.
Kenneth was born to Maurice and Madge (Mabie) Goodrich on February 15, 1922 in Worcester, NY.
He attended Worcester Central School and was employed at various jobs in the area including farming. After working for several years at Skinner Body Shop, Ken purchased the business and operated under the name of Goodrich Body Shop in Worcester. On occasion he could also be found running the film projectors at the Worcester Theater or Cobleskill Drive-In.
On May 8, 1967 he married Louise (Nelson) Guernsey. Together they enjoyed traveling, antiquing, playing pitch with friends and bowling on teams, some of which he was sponsor, in area leagues. After selling his business he went to work for The Oneonta Sales Co. in Oneonta.
While enjoying his retirement, Ken could be found "tinkering" around their home, in the garden or at his workbench making handmade toys, furniture and whirligigs. He was always busy caning a chair, building a birdhouse or taking a leisurely Sunday drive with Louise on the back roads of Schoharie and Otsego counties.
His parents; sister, Florence; brothers, Maurice and Frances; daughter, Louise Yvonne Wickham and his loving wife, Louise predeceased him.
Ken is survived by his granddaughter, Tracy L. Cates and her fiancé, Barry L. Hogan, and Barry's daughter, Elizabeth; son, Theodore Guernsey and wife, Joanne; grandchildren, Kimberlie and husband, Brian Mackey, great-grandson, Jace Mackey and grandson, Mikeal Guernsey; children, Reginald, Patrick, Joanne and Craig and their families.
Calling hours will be 5 to 7 p.m., Monday, April 6, 2015 at the Heller & Skinner Funeral Home, 155 Main St., Worcester.
A graveside service at the Maple Grove Cemetery in Worcester will be held at later date.
"I would like to thank the staff at Robinson Terrace for their care and compassion given to Ken during his stay in Stamford and their support to my family through his last days." Tracy
