Kenneth loved working with computers. Not only was it his livelihood, it was his all-time favorite hobby. He not only made his career with computers as a systems analyst he created his own computer consulting corporation.

Kenneth did have one more sincere affection beyond computers. It was the love of thoroughbred horses. He helped raise and train horses, and was a true fan of the Kentucky Derby.

As life carried on, he struggled with medical issues with his kidneys. In 2008 Kenneth received the gift of extended life from his wife Marlene. She donated one of her kidneys to Kenneth. They were a perfect match! Newspapers even wrote about the wonderful news!

Later in life once he retired, he discovered a new venture. It was trading “Futures”. This became a fulltime activity until the complications in his medical health took him.

The legacy and love that Kenneth holds most dearly to his life is the love of his wife, children, and the love of the Lord.

In lieu of flowers please send donations to the National Kidney Foundation.
