Kenneth A. Begin, 72, left this earthly life on Sunday, September 25, surrounded by his loving family. He was the son of Albertine and Raoul Begin, growing up
and attending school in Hoosick Falls, NY. He joined the Navy and served four years with the USS WASP. He was a master mechanic for L.B. Smith in Albany
NY for seven years after which he became a self-employed fabricator running
his own business for 40 years. He loved the challenge of “building a better mouse
trap” and always was engaged in a project whether in his work or at his own
home. He loved best to build and create, to hunt or fish, to cook for his friends
at his camp, to ride motorcycle or four wheeler, or just sit down to a good meal
with family and friends. Ken was a happy man with a infectious laugh that let you
know he was glad to be with you. He loved the simple things of life and was never
happier than when his friends drove in the driveway to visit. We who knew him will forever miss him.
Survivors other than his wife Lisa(Baker) include his three sons, Michael Begin(Gillian) of Springfield, MA, Jimmy Begin, North Adams, Ma, John Begin of Cohoes, New York, his sister Shirley Shampire(Chris Heffernan), Ballston Lake, New York and Beverly Gorman(Edward) of Hoosick Falls, a brother Paul Begin(Chrir)and his three grandchildren Mitchell, Matthew and Molly, nieces and nephews.
