Kenny fought in the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged in 1971. After returning from war, Kenny once again joined his father and the family business of raising geese., Kenny met Mary Tindall in 1971 and the couple married in Graettingr, Iowa on July 15, 1972.

Family time was always important to him and he had always taken the time out of life's busy schedule to spend with family.
