Born in Millbury, Massachusetts, Kennedy began as an industrial tool sales rep for Ingersoll Rand, founding Sales To Industry in 1984. Over the years STI represented many notable manufacturers such as Doosan/IR, Atlas Copco, NiftyLift, SkyJack, Haulotte, SkatTrak and others, covering a territory from Maine to Virginia and west through Pennsylvania.

The industry has lost a good man and ambassador.

In the words of one of those that sent us the news, “John was a good friend and mentor to a lot of people."
