            Kenny grew up on the farm with his one brother Dean.  There were hard times on the farm but there were also good times spent with aunts and uncles and their families.  Family get-togethers were important joy filled with plenty of good food shared.

            Kenny met Naomi in the summer of 1944 and on June 2, 1945 they were married in Kansas City, Kansas.  When they returned home, Kenny continued to farm with his dad.

            From 1952-1954 Kenny was called to serve his country in the Korean War.

            1957 was a very good year for Kenny and Naomi, their son Kelly was born on March 27, and he was the joy of their life.

            In 1961 Kenny and Naomi decided to go into business for themselves and the bought the Western Auto Associate Store in Bedford and for twenty-two years they ran that store.  A lot of people will remember that Kenny would open the store whenever they needed anything.  If you were working on a project and it was midnight, Kenny would get out of bed and open the store so you could get what you needed.  That is just the way he was, no grumbling, he wanted to serve, not only a customer, but a friend.

            In 1964 Kenny became a substitute rural mail carrier, and started carrying a full time route in 1979, and ended up carrying mail for twenty six years, retiring November 1, 1988.

            People will remember Kenny as a wonderful man who was jolly, giving and happy.  He was a great father, husband, friend, business man. Active with the fire department, the American Legion and the Chamber of Commerce.  He was always willing to help, and loved his family dearly.

            Kenny will be remembered and missed by his wife Naomi, son Kelly, daughter-in-law Janice, grandchildren Kristen and Kevin, brother Dean, and many friends,  Kenny's life was a gift to all who knew him, not to one or two, but to many.  We thank God for Kenny's life and for all he gave to those whose life his life touched.
