Later he became a carpet and home remodeler leading to the opening of the Poor People's Carpet Barn.

Sorry for the loss of Kenny. He was a longtime , dear friend who was like family to me. We all had such great memories starting back in high school and the laughs continued throughout the years. Kenny is one-of-a-kind and will be missed by many.
