     Kenneth attended Eastern Alamance High School and was employed with Cone Mills, Haw River, NC for several years.  Kenneth was extremely witty and quite a wiz at joke-telling.  He loved to laugh, but he especially loved making others laugh.  One of Kenneth's beloved pastimes was watching his favorite western, "Gunsmoke".  He affectionately nicknamed his grandkids: "Songbird", Knee-baby" and "Cool-man".  He enjoyed listening to music and would often request that his "Songbird" sing his favorite song, "Take Me To The King".
