Kenneth spent his life in the automotive industry as an auto mechanic, a service manager, and a store manager for Goodyear and Auto Tire in the greater St Louis area. His love of automobiles made him friends to all. He will be fondly remembered as the man who spent countless hours helping others in an automotive shop or through his role as a Moolah Shriner.
His hobbies included spending time with his family, automobiles, shooting pool, and online poker. He spent weekends beating the whole family at UNO and barbequing for his extended family. He enjoyed spending time umpiring Little League, watching grandchildren play baseball, and late-night varsity games with Joe.

So sorry for your loss
