He was the third oldest child in his family being younger brother to Perry and Linda and older brother to sister, Marlene. His family was active in Scouting and Kerry earned his Eagle Scout.

The start of a good story from Kerry always revolved around some or all of his greatest joys. Some he shared often were...Sing-a-long weenie roasts, "the biggest buck you ever saw," "I was told not to kick that bucket" and "I lost that lure when."
