Legendary Brooklyn hoops coach passes away
Fort Hamilton’s Ken Kern Produced Hall of Fame Talent in Bay Ridge
The enduring memory I have of legendary Fort Hamilton High School basketball coach Kenneth J. Kern, who died at his home in Hollywood, Florida on May 12 at the age of 89, is one that still has me shaking my head from time to time.
In fact, most people don’t believe it really happened when I retell it.
I guess it’s one of those moments that evokes the phrase, “You had to be there.”
