Kerry graduated from Belding High School with the Class of 1970 and later attended Grand Rapids Junior College. In his earlier working years Kerry worked in the construction and building industry. He was a talented man and was blessed with the ability to be able to construct just about anything. Later in life Kerry enjoyed working for Tom Heffron on his fruit and grain farm. While working on the farm he enjoyed the friendship of all the other help especially the younger staff who looked to Kerry for advice and mentoring. He was able to connect with these kids and for several he served as a second dad with his ability to offer good advice on life and living. He enjoyed many hobbies especially wood working, hunting, fishing, camping and travel. He especially enjoyed a long trip to Moab, UT. Kerry had a good sense of humor and was willing to share that with family and friends especially two of his favorites one being “everything tastes better with peanut butter and ketchup” and the other being “every question in life could be answered with one of the following four words: Yes, No, Seventeen  or Blue”. He also enjoyed reading a good book.  Kerry will be greatly missed and always remembered with a smile.
