He was an amazing man that worked hard, starting by washing windows, and ending as an Executive Senior Vice President. It took a lot of dedication, and lots of moves.

Pat is also survived by his older sister Barbara Vacca (Michael) and his younger brother Paul Kenney (Charlotte).
When Pat was not working, he was an avid golfer, hunter, fisherman, reader and loved crossword puzzles. He and Claudette bought a motor coach after retiring and traveled the US & Canada with their friends, keeping Cincinnati as their home base for 18 years. He also really enjoyed spending time with family and playing cards, especially Klinker and Euchre.
