finally settling in West Texas, moving to San Angelo in 1946. At the age
of 13, he started to "swamp" on a truck and work for his father on the

and served in the 980th Engineer Battalion. He was proud to serve and was

on the Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin, working many long hours in the
field and in the office. In 1974, Kenneth was responsible for Tucker Drilling
Co. becoming a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ. In 1977, he received
his degree in economics from Angelo State University and then took his
family and moved to The Woodlands, a suburb outside of Houston. He worked
for Northern Natural Gas in Houston as an economist until he went out on
his own as a venture capitalist to drill oil wells and become an investor.
In 1981, he and his family returned to San Angelo where he worked in the
oil business and sold real estate.
His family and friends have been blessed in experiencing and learning
from Kenneth's knowledge of American and Texas history and his true love
of conversation. He was an avid reader and his loved ones considered him
to be both intelligent and spiritual. He served as a Deacon and an Elder
at College Hills Christian Church. Kenneth also was a sportsman, loving
