Kenneth was born on July 26, 1924, in Wishek, ND. The family farmed near Hazelton, and then Kenneth, along with his brother Dale, started a grocery store in Hazelton. It was in Hazelton where he met Vivian, who was working at the bank. Kenneth and Vivian were married on October 9, 1949.

Kenneth and Vivian made their home in Sun City for 30 years, living an active life and enjoying the family and friends that visited over the years. Kenneth played lots of golf, and together they worked out at the rec centers on a daily basis. They were members of American Lutheran Church, and made lots of good friends.
