Kenneth had many occupations over the years but his true passion and love was being a truck driver and driving throughout the Fox Valley in his van. Kenneth’s love of driving started at the Kaukauna race track, where he was a regular with his yellow Super Bee. In his later years he built a trike from a Harley Servi Car with a VW motor on the back. Kenneth was well known for being seen on his trike enjoying the open road, he was lovingly known to his friends as Saddle Tramp.



As an outdoorsman, he enjoyed time away up north at the family cabin fishing and relaxing in Tipler, WI. He also loved hunting locally along the marsh, railroad tracks, and fence line for rabbits, game birds, or whatever else might be in season. He also firmly believed in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to protect his family and country. He was a proud member of the NRA.
