Ken, as he liked to be called, was owner and operator of Ken’s Glass and Screen, in shop glass and screen repair, for forty years.
He was born February 14, 1948, in Pennsylvania to Orlyn and Kathryn Kimmell. Ken was raised in New Jersey with sisters Kathryn and Peggy and brother Paul.
He joined the U.S. Marines Corp. in 1968 and was honorably discharged in 1970.
After touring a lot of the U.S., he chose Medford, Oregon, to live -- making many wonderful lifetime friends. He loved his Labrador dogs; they were his constant companions.
A memorial service will be at the Eagle Point National Cemetery at a later date.
