Kenneth Burnham, 79, of Bridgton died very peacefully on Saturday morning at Bridgton Hospital after suffering from a stroke. 

A quiet and often misunderstood man he was, at his center, a wonderful caretaker of cantankerous women. His quiet demeanor was often punctuated with sarcastic humor that could brighten your day. He enjoyed quiet, and very long cups of coffee, as well as long winding drives to diners throughout rural Maine. 

There will be a small, private gathering to celebrate his life. 

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Harvest Hills Animal Shelter in Fryeburg in honor of Ken’s beloved dogs. 

In lieu of cards, please go out for a long cup of coffee and enjoy the beauty of Maine.
