Obituary

Kenneth R. Grimm, 88 of Uniontown, Pa., passed away at Mount Macrina Manor on Monday, November 21, 2022. He was born in Uniontown on March 24, 1934, son of Ray E. and Kathleen (Phelan) Grimm. His parents, a grandson Adam Donohue, and a brother Robert Grimm preceded him in death.

Kenny proudly served his country as a veteran of the Vietnam War, SSgt. Radio Intercept Operator. He retired from the United States Air Force after 20 years of honorable service. While stationed in Okinawa in the early 60's, he became a Boy Scout leader, which continued when he returned to PA with Calvary Baptist Church. Following his discharge from the Air Force he worked for the United States Postal Service for 20 years until retirement.

Kenny was a lifetime member, past officer, and member of Honor Guard and Color Guard for several of the local military organizations, Vietnam Veterans, Inc. of Fayette Co., American Legion Post 51, North Union VFW, and George C. Marshall Amvets Post 103.

He loved his family, and never missed an athletic event for his grandchildren. He was a talented woodworker and enjoyed the outdoors especially hunting and gardening.

He will be deeply missed by his devoted wife of 49 years Yoko (Nakasone) Grimm, their daughter, Kathleen E. Koffler and husband Raymond; and grandchildren, Zackary Koffler and Ethan Koffler all of Uniontown. He is also survived by children, Linda Williams of Alabama, Donald Grimm and wife Arlene of Tennessee, and grandson, Donald Grimm of Florida.

Kenny's unforgettable smile and willingness to help others will be cherished and remembered by his many friends.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Amedisys Hospice for the exceptional care and comfort they provided. Also, a special heartfelt thanks to the staff of Mount Macrina Manor, some who  cared for Kenny on a daily basis over the past 3 months; from the reception desk, activities personnel, nurses, aides, and therapists, especially Angie, Zack, Tammy, Audrey, and Kris, just to name a few.
