Kenneth A. "Skip" Brace, 78, of Norton, MA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at Wingate of Norton Healthcare in Norton.
Born on February 23, 1941 in Boston, MA, he was the son of the late Kenneth G. Brace and the late Velma A. (Malcolm) Brace.
A graduate of Brighton High School, Kenneth worked as a driver for Kiessling Transit Incorporated before retiring.
A resident of Norton for most of his life, he had a wonderful sense of humor, a dry wit, and a contagious laugh. He enjoyed traveling; playing cards; ice cream, especially coffee flavored; loved decorating his home for every holiday; and was an avid Bruins fan. Kenneth was a competitive couples ice dancer as a younger man. He was a member of the Masonic Order and a friend of the Norton Senior Center.
Kenneth was the brother of the late Ruth Lorraine Brace, who passed away on November 16, 2011, and the late Valma A. "Wooley" Seaman, who passed away on June 28, 2006. Kenneth will be deeply missed by his dear friends and neighbors.
