Kenneth, age 67, passed away April 14, 2008. Kenneth worked at Pete's Bakery after high school for awhile. He then landed a job for Wisconsin Telephone Co. and honored the draft for Uncle Sam by joining the Coast Guard for six months and ended up staying seven years, training out of Cape May, New Jersey. He enjoyed lots of parties and had fun times in Philly and New York when they had time off. He was discharged in 1962, and returned to Wisconsin Bell for work, installing telephones in residences and businesses. His work took him to Minnesota, Illinois, and then to the Denver area before he retired in 1996. Following, he received a job with IBM, helping with outsourcing their computers. Kenneth enjoyed spending time bowling during his working years and got the highest score of 299 on the old Bowling for Dollars show. In 1983, Kenneth married the love of his life Yvonne. Together they shared 6 children. Kenneth retired in 1994 from IBM and has just been ""hanging out"" enjoying his time.
