Kenneth was a kind, loving, simple man with a big heart. He was just like MacGyver, he could fix anything and proper tools were overrated. He loved teaching and entertaining his grandchildren. Family meant everything to him.

He was preceded in death by his parents; son-in-law, Tim Bribriesco; and eight siblings.
