Saddened to hear of Kenneth's passing. He was a good friend of my childhood and I'm convinced he was a good man throughout his life. I'll always remember him and his Dad when New's Grocery was located on Highway 65 North of town.

My thoughts and prayers are with all his family.

So sorry to hear about Kenneth!!! We miss out on alot of news since we work with Damascus & Harmony Mtn. congregations now.

I only met him once, 1989, for an interview, the month I worked for the old boat plant in personnel & safety. He really was a mighty nice guy! And a TOP HAND when it came to welding.

Carolyn I was sorry to see that you lost Kenneth. I now work part time at Roller-McNutt in Greenbrier and when they sent me an update I knew it had to be the one I knew.

At least we have the peace in knowing that one day we will join our mates in Heaven.

If I can be of any help to you please give me a call.
