Kenneth Euglow Obituary
He was born on June 20th, 1945 in Portsmouth, Virginia, son of Raymond and Margaret Euglow. He served his country and spent his career in the U.S. Air Force including multiple tours during the Vietnam War.
Kenneth's life was one of service; service to his country, his family, his faith, and his community. Kenny or "Papa" as he was known, had a grit and work ethic to be admired. On most days you could find him at a local pond, gardening or working on his fishing boat. In his later years, he shared this passion with his grandchildren by teaching them to bait a hook and patiently wait for the excitement of a tug on the line. The hole Kenny left in this world will be hard to fill, but his legacy will be a commendable one. He leaves behind a wonderful family, some fantastic stories about the fish that got away, run-ins with bears (on multiple occasions), and lots of tomatoes. Lots and lots of tomatoes.
Surviving are his wife, Gail Schoonover Euglow with whom he shared 52 years; one son, Michael Euglow (Sarah) of Alamo, CA; a daughter, Judith Willenborg (John) of Novato, CA; six grandchildren, Ryan Euglow, Jack Euglow, Cash Euglow, Evan Euglow, Elin Willenborg, and Ike Willenborg; and a sister, Judith Moore of Suffolk, VA.

He was my flight chief at George afb. I was very young troop and full of myself. He helped me keep out of trouble and tow the line. To this day is the best person I have ever worked for. I just wish I had kept in touch with him. He was a very good man he will be missed by all who knew him. I thank you for showing me the way.

Just like Lee and Leslie and Cecil and Bernie have said before me, we remember Kenny fondly from our school days together. Nice to hear that he had a good life with his family in California. Rest in Peace Kenny.

Don't know if Kenny ever talked about it, but I knew Kenny to be a great saxaphone player. He was in a popular Portsmouth band called the Stingrays. He and Tommy Pitman were the best. Will always remember being in highschool band with him.
