Kenneth was a kind, sweet, and caring gentleman who enjoyed a laid back and simple life. He graduated from Elkhart High in 1959 and would later go on to marry his high school sweetheart, Peggy Miller, on April 28, 1962. Kenneth worked for over 20 years as an over the road truck driver prior to becoming the owner of Wakarusa Hardware for another 20 years. He was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church (Trinity on Jackson) and helped out behind the scenes during services by managing the sound system.

In his spare time, Kenneth loved riding his bike around the neighborhood in one of his many colorful hats. He stayed in touch with many of his classmates and would attend the 59ers class breakfast and would often join the class of 60's lunch bunch with Peggy. Kenneth enjoyed watching classic movies with his wife and family gathered around him. Being with his family brought him the most joy. He will be dearly missed.
