A kind, patient man. He opened my world to watercolor painting, which I will be forever thankful for. I'm so very sorry to hear of his passing, and wish his family strength. He was like a watchful parent over us learning children. I truly admired the man.

So sadden to hear about Kenneth. He was a nice person to be around as he was growing up in Preble county and attending school. I was always proud he was my cousin. Prayers are with the family.
