Kenny had enlisted in the Army at a young age and spent most of his time in Germany, which he dearly loved. He was a member of the Lebanon Fire Dept., Singers Society of Lebanon and Lebanon Outdoorsman. He worked for Horner Park District, Lebanon Township & the City of Lebanon where he was a laborer and worked his way up to Street Supervisor when he was forced to disability because of his health.
