March 4, 1940 — May 22, 2026

Kenneth C. “Kenny” Gregory, 86, passed away on Friday, May 22, 2026, at his home.

He was born on March 4, 1940 in St. Marys, a son of the late Urban and Alvina Hoffman Gregory.

Kenny was a graduate of Central High School and served his country with honor in the United States Navy and carried that same spirit of service, humility, and faith throughout every chapter of his life. A deeply devoted and faithful member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, he dedicated countless hours to the parish he loved, serving as a Eucharistic Minister, lending his voice to the church choir, and helping to shape young hearts and minds through Faith Formation classes. His faith was not simply something he practiced-it was the foundation by which he lived, finding great meaning and purpose in serving in his church.

For many years, he lived and worked in Buffalo, New York, working at AM and A’s Department Store before returning to the area in 1999, where he continued a life rooted in service, reflection, and devotion. He extended his compassion beyond church walls through his involvement in prison ministry, believing deeply in mercy, dignity, and the importance of reaching others with kindness and understanding.

Outside of his ministry, he found joy in life’s quieter moments-playing the piano, preparing meals for those he loved, reading, tending to his flowers and yard, and engaging in thoughtful conversation. Deeply religious and introspective, he was a man of profound thought whose gentle wisdom, steadfast faith, and servant’s heart left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Kenny is survived by three siblings; Gilbert “Gibby” Gregory, William Gregory, and Irene Gregory, all of St. Marys, as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Kenny was followed in death by his sister; RoseMarie Gregory who passing occurred just one day after his own. He was also preceded in death by five siblings; Richard Gregory, Alice (Charles) Dollinger, Patricia (Ronald) Rollick, Lillian (Ferdie) Haller, and Monica (Paul) Werner.

A Mass of Christian Burial for both Kenneth C. Gregory and RoseMarie Gregory will be celebrated on Friday, May 29, 2026 at 10:00 AM at the St. Marys Church, 315 Church Street, St. Marys, PA 15857 with Fr. Thomas Curry, OSB, as celebrant.

Military Honors will be accorded for Kenny by the St. Marys Servicemen’s Burial Detail.

Burial will follow in the St. Marys Catholic Cemetery.

Visitation for both Kenny and Tootsie will be at the Lynch-Green Funeral Home on Thursday, May 28, 2026 from 4:00 until 6:00 PM.

Memorial Contributions may be made to the St. Marys Church or to wordonfire.org

Frederick G. Salerno, 74, of Bolivar Drive, Bradford, passed away peacefully at his residence on Saturday, May 23, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born December 30, 1951, in Bradford, he was one of three children born to the late Bruno F. and Adele M. (Guelfi) Salerno. He was a proud 1969 graduate of Bradford High School.

Fred developed a love for automobiles at an early age. He worked at Rink Brothers, Clayt’s Auto Shop, and Fairway Ford before spending many years at Barrett’s Auto Body, where he remained until his retirement in 2023. As a young man, he enjoyed building cars and trucks and racing them on local mud tracks and drag strips throughout the region.

In addition to his work in the auto body industry, Fred was a talented carpenter. He spent countless evenings and weekends building and remodeling homes, creating beautiful kitchen cabinets, and helping family, friends, and neighbors with projects of all kinds. He was known for his strong work ethic, generous spirit, and willingness to help anyone in need.

Fred enjoyed baking, bowling with the Thursday Night League at Byllye Lanes, and camping with his family. Some of his happiest moments were spent teaching his granddaughters how to bake and sharing time with those he loved. He was well liked by nearly everyone who knew him and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. His kindness, humor, and generosity left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Above all, Fred cherished his family. His greatest joy came from spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who brought immense pride and happiness to his life.

Surviving are his daughter, Casey Baer, of Bradford; his son, Scott (Kasi) Salerno, of Bradford; the mother of his children, Cathy (Chiarenza) Salerno, of Bradford; five grandchildren, Winnie Baer, MiaLynn Salerno, Hannah Skaggs, Lacey Cressley, and Rylee Cahill; two great-grandchildren, Finnigan Cressley and Fischer Cressley; his sister, Mary Ann (Joseph) Sczudlo, of Fletcher, North Carolina; his brother, Michael (Stacie) Salerno, of Bradford; his uncles, James Guelfi, of Bradford, and John (Mary Lynn) Salerno, of Warren, along with two nieces and two nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his uncle, Henry “Hank” Guelfi.
