Not only did he receive a wife on that day, he became an instant father to a baby girl and a toddling boy. He worked 28 years at Almond Brothers saw mill. He always instilled good work ethics to his children. Kenneth lived his life to the fullest. If he did not insult you when he greeted you then he did not like you!
