On December 8, 1930, he was sealed to his parents for time and all eternity in the Mesa, AZ, temple. In May of 1943, one month before his eighteenth birthday, Kenneth enlisted in the United States Navy. In 1945, WWII came to an end and Kenneth was discharged from the Navy so he could attend Arizona Jr. College and Texas Western College, later known as UTEP. While attending college he also worked at a local bank where he met Patricia Miller. In 1956, after a nice courtship, they were married. Kenneth worked for the Department of Veteran Affairs as a loan officer and retired in 1992. After retirement, Kenneth and Pat were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Mesa, AZ, temple. Several years later they moved from Tucson, AZ, to Rockwall to be near family.
