Kenneth was very friendly, stopping to talk to most people whether he knew them or not, and always presenting a smile. He loved food and very often would convert the unimaginable into a sandwich. Kenneth loved working on cars. On one specific occasion, he took his new car apart and put it back together (while the car was still under warranty) so he would know how to fix it, if needed. He also was a sports enthusiast who followed different types of sports. He was a huge fan of professional football (NY Giants), professional and collegiate basketball.
