Kenneth was educated in the Colleton County public school system, graduating with the Ruffin High School class of 1970. Kenneth enjoyed his time with his classmates and lifelong friends.  He returned to New York and was employed at Merrill Lynch and Prudential Financial.

Kenneth had a love for and was a champion bowler who traveled with his pro-bowling league and won many trophies.  He was also a competitive checker player.  Kenneth was a true giver at heart and showered his loved ones with his presence as well as his laughter.  Kenneth found great joy in being able to reconnect and fellowship with some of his high school classmates and friends upon relocating to South Carolina.  It gave him such great joy, when his health permitted, him to join them for gatherings, specifically taking a Dinner Cruise out of Charleston Harbor.
