Kenneth Richard Coombs, 75, died on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at the Holy Family Hospital, from complications of the COVID-19 virus.

He leaves his wife of 50 years, Carol (Mickee) Coombs, his son David Coombs of Salem, NH, his daughter Amanda Sigman and her husband David of Dracut, MA, his granddaughter Liliana Sigman, sister Nancy Hudson of Salem, NH, many nieces and nephews, and a loving group of extended family and friends.  He was pre-deceased by his father, Kenneth Coombs, and his parents Kenneth and Edith (Mitchell) Christ.

Ken was born on November 4, 1944, and grew up in Lawrence Mass, graduating from Lawrence High School in 1962. Ken and Carol married in 1969, and have been long time residents of Salem, NH. He retired from a 30 year career at the Gillette Company.  He loved to drive, manning a milk delivery truck in his younger days, and an airport limousine after his retirement.

Ken enjoyed watching sports and movies, and collecting baseball cards, but found his greatest joy spending time with his family. He loved taking many trips and vacations together over the years with his extended family and friends.

Funeral services and burial will be private.

The Coombs family would like to thank the staff at The Residence at Salem Woods for caring for Ken over the past three years.
