Kenneth enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his children. The children always had company come over because the house was considered the house where all the Game systems, games, the best fish tank set-up were at, so of course all the nieces and nephews wanted to hang out and play at Uncle Kenneth’s house with his children.
Kenneth’s hobbies were fishing and having his fish tank set up all throughout the house. And of course, he wanted to Teach all of the children and his nieces and nephews how to fish alongside him, so they would go out on fishing outings on the weekend whether it be at different spots or on his boats. Those were the good ole days!
