Kenneth graduated from Westfield-Washington High School in Westfield. He then joined the United States Coast Guard in 1974 and proudly served at several stations including Alabama and Alaska, before retiring from the Loran Station in Dana in 1994. Kenneth earned several medals, ribbons, and stars during his 20 years of dedicated service to his country. He then went to work for several years at Great Dane and later at North American Lighting.

Kenneth was an avid golfer. He could be found on the golf course most days or at the driving range practicing his swing. If he wasn’t golfing, Kenneth would often be relaxing in front of the television, watching one of his favorite Westerns with his beloved dog, Rosie, on his lap. Kenneth was kind, considerate, and hard-working.
