It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Rockland County Veteran and retired Command Sergeant Major, Kenneth Nurse.

A longtime Veteran advocate and trained Joseph P. Dwyer Veteran Mentor, CSM Nurse was always available to guide, mentor and help any Veteran in need. Voted into the New York State Senate Veteran Hall of Fame in 2021, SGM Nurse was voted Buffalo Soldier Veteran of the Year and American Legion Post Veteran of the Year. His military service included deployments to Southwest Asia, the Balkans, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq. Impeccably dressed in his service dress uniform, his smile would light up the room as he told those lucky enough to listen a story, a lesson learned, or advise on some complex issue. Highly educated with multiple PHD’s, it was a pleasure to live in the light he brought to our Veteran community.

Additional details and arrangements will be posted as they becomes available.
