HOWLAND Kenneth P. Cope, 83, longtime resident of Howland, passed away Thursday, Dec. 10, 2020, following a lengthy battle with Amyloidosis and, ultimately, complications from COVID-19.
Kenneth was born Feb. 15, 1937, in Robbins, Tenn. He moved to Leavittsburg when he was 4 years old, but always considered East Tennessee his home, returning for visits almost every year. He dearly loved the state of Tennessee and his many relatives there.

Kenneth was a 1955 graduate of (Warren Township) Leavittsburg High School. Members of the class of ’55 remained his lifelong friends.
