Kenneth Anthony La Sala, a lifelong resident of Pelham and New Rochelle, New York, passed away on February 6, 2025, at the age of 83. Born in the Bronx to Anthony and Eleanor La Sala, he was the oldest of two children. He was raised on Peace Street in Pelham Manor, where he attended Pelham schools.

After graduating, Kenneth balanced his college studies with work in the family business, which focused on construction and real estate development. His entrepreneurial spirit was evident early on, and he expanded the family business into new ventures, including catering, gas stations, country clubs, and restaurants including La Fontanella.

Kenny’s love for life extended to his personal passions. He enjoyed boating, spending time at the beach in Florida, and cherished the moments spent with his children and grandchildren.

He will be remembered as a generous, loving, and selfless man who always put others before himself. Described by many as a “man’s man,” Kenny’s caring nature and strength left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Kenneth is survived by his two children, Kenny (Juliane) La Sala and Mark (Claudia) La Sala, as well as his five beloved grandchildren: Samantha, Kenneth, Lexi, Mark, and Londyn. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
