Kenneth was an excellent cook and grill master. His specialty was monkey bread (our version) and smoked deboned chicken stuffed with rice and vegetables.

Kenneth was a man with a big and loving heart. He was always willing to help everyone. He was an engineer by training and gifting. He was a reliable man with a wealth of knowledge that he used to solve problems. He grew up at Allen Temple where he was trained in the way he should go. He had an encounter with the Living Savior, Jesus Christ that radically changed his life. He dedicated himself to being active and faithful in his church community, Imago Dei Christian Fellowship of West Chester, with Joyce.
