Kenneth is preceded in death by his parents, Ken and Elsie; siblings Janet Beck, Ray, and Clyde; former wife Christa Moll (Nancy) of Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany, and longtime partner Katheryn Ellen Koski of Menagha, MN.

Dad requested “don’t make a fuss over me”, so there will be no funeral services at this time. However, his children would like to have a small gathering with family and close friends at a later date to share memories of dad and tell some of his favorite bad jokes. Love to all.”
