The Kennard family had a small choir that sang for the services. Uncle Bill was remembered as a person who cared about others and who was frequently “guilty” of helping others, without anyone else knowing it. He was a person who liked to joke about himself, saying, “I am in pretty good shape, considering the shape I’m in.” He will be missed by his family and good friends.
