Kent was a loving father and grandfather who married the love of his life, Stacia Bissinger, on May 11, 1968. He was a hard worker and was employed at CTS for 46 years. In his early years, Kent enjoyed staying active by playing softball, golf, and bowling. He had a love of sports, especially when he could cheer on his two favorite teams, Notre Dame and the Chicago White Sox. Kent enjoyed "do it yourself" projects with his sons and grandsons and also enjoyed living on Simonton Lake with his wife. They enjoyed the lake life by taking boat rides on his pontoon and taking their grandchildren fishing from time to time. Kent will be dearly missed by his loving family and many friends.
