Kenneth Webb, age 79, of Marion, Ohio, passed away Friday, April 14, 2017 at his residence.
On June 4, 1937, he was born to the late Foster and Grace (Pemberton) Webb in South Point, Ohio, and on July 10, 1955, he married his wife Dorothy (Dye) Webb in Marion, Ohio.
Kenneth worked as a crane operator at the Marion Power Shovel for 32 and a half years, and he was an avid bowler, spending almost every night at the bowling alley. He was a fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes football and basketball teams. He was known as a tinkerer, often piecing together small engines in the garage, and in his younger days, he used to build bicycles from old parts for the neighborhood children who didn’t have money for a bike.
