I had Fr. McKernan as a French teacher at Catholic Central High School between 1979 and 1982. I didn't know how good a job he did until three years later, when I had to go to school in France for a quarter! Because of all the excellent preparation he gave, I had it easier than anyone else in my group. Blessed repose and eternal memory, Fr. McKernan.

Father McKernan was my Cross Country coach my freshman year at Aquila’s Institute in 1967. He encouraged my to try out for the team my first day of class when he was my Theology class teacher. This started my on a long journey of running that I still enjoy 52 years later. I will always be thankful for his encouragement and guidance. Rest In Peace Father.

Fr. McKernan was my French teacher in '81/'82 and '83/'84. And what an outstanding teacher! He always used to say that French is such a beautiful and perfect language that it's spoken by everyone in Heaven - except for the angels. Angels in Heaven all speak Italian, because they have 2 arms and 2 wings to wave around in the air as they talk! Well, now he gets to speak French for eternity. Adieu, Père.

After the war, my father transferred to Windsor because Mom's sister Amy, her husband Jack and her nieces and nephews, whom she loved, were there. Ken was six years older than I and five years older than my sister Joll, but he was kind enough to play with us and his own brother Jimmy and create the excitement and fun and happiness of our many many days at the McKernan house, first at Airport Villa, and then on Malden Road. Joll and I loved Ken and Jim and our older, larger than life cousins, who were admired role models of ours and showed us who we wanted to be. We never had to doubt the steady love we felt there, from Amy and Jack, our cousins, and our own parents. I can still hear your Mother's ready laugh, and see your father's smile Ken. I hope you are enjoying again the warmth of your loving family.

My greatest memory of Father Ken was when he said mass on the veranda for the family reunions. It was special. And also when Father Ken and Marilyn came to visit Marg and me in Bath. Father Ken was a wonderful person. My condolences to the whole family. Paul Spooner

A great man who taught us how to be men through example while at Catholic Central. I will always remember his open collar and guidance while on weekend retreats. Welcome home and job well done! Neal Niemiec Class of 84
