Kenneth was born on July 17, 1948 to parents Mary Hanah Mckinley-Oldham and Cecil Grant Oldham in Wichita Kansas.  Kenneth married the love of his life, Frances on June 2, 1967.  They had an amazing 57 years together before she passed in October of last year.  Losing her was extremely hard for him but he kept himself busy in the garage doing his woodworking hobby that he spent the last 15 years of his life perfecting.

Kenneth grew up farming and doing various jobs as a young man.  After marrying and making his permanent home in Kent, Washington, he became a typewriter repairman for Dragness Office Supply, where he worked for 30 plus years.  He loved bowling, fishing and being a handyman.  As a self taught auto mechanic he was always helping friends and family work on their cars over the years.  He even taught his son-in-law George how to repair cars, as well as, his grandchildren and daughter. 

Kenneth was not a man of many words, but showed his love by being there and helping with whatever needed fixing, and being a solid foundation.  

May you be in peace.  You can soar with Frances.  You were an amazing Husband, Dad/Daddy, Brother , Brother-in-Law, Son, Papa.  Till we are together again.
