So sorry for your loss Jack and family. I’ll miss Kenny ‘s story’s . He always made me laugh. It was always a good time to stop and see Kenny. He would find you something to do. Like the time Jack and I helped put the garage door opener on. Prayers for you and your family Jack.

Thank goodness he is deceased and can’t hurt anyone anymore. To write an obituary, in a false light, about a man that physically, sexually and verbally abused children (some his own) and women is heartbreaking for his victims. Not only was this man not kind but he severely abused my Grandma Frances who had to flee from him to get away and then he had her committed to a psychiatric facility. She wasn’t “crazy” she had been severely abused by this man. She endured him beating their youngest son Arnold, when he was a very young boy, causing him brain retardation and a life in and out of group homes for those who are mentally challenged. He molested and raped his own daughter, Irene, throughout most of her childhood. She later wrote in her suicide letter, in August of 2018, she couldn’t live with the pain of what he had done to her any longer. His son, Jack, molested & raped his own niece, Starla (me) when I was 5 and 6 years old. My therapists over the years have described him as a sadistic pedophile for the things he did to me. He went on to only date women who had young children or were grandmothers of young children and victimized many of them as well. Please take this obituary down, it’s full of lies and contains the names of my loved ones who were abused by Kenneth.
Thank you,
Starla
