Kenneth B. Emmons, Sr., 84, of Tonawanda, NY, passed away on November 10, 2022 at his residence surrounded by his family under the care of Hospice Buffalo.  Born in Pittston, PA, he was the son of the late Kenneth A. and Anna (Colorusso) Emmons.

Ken came to the area with his family at the age of 5, and graduated from Niagara Falls High School.  On September 20, 1958, he married Pauline A.

In addition to his wife of 64 years, Kenneth is survived by his children, Judith (late Frank Rubino) Emmons, Kathleen (James Grace) Emmons, Janet (Michael) Hanavan, Kenneth B.
