Kenny was born December 31st, 1938 to Carl and Adele Karchmer in Memphis. After Christian Brothers High School, Kenny graduated from The Memphis Art Academy in 1968. He landed his first job with Aeolian Corporation as an Art Director. Soon thereafter, he started his own printing company, Karchmer Printing. In 1966 he married his beloved wife Nadolyn Edelson, daughter of the late Mary Dumont after knowing each other for three weeks and they were basically inseparable ever since. He was a passionate artist and a creative craftsman who could be found occupied with his latest hobby of painting, making sculptures, mirrors, or his latest venture right up to his death of painting different scenes on rocks. He proudly gave them away as gifts which reflected his giving and fun spirit. Kenny loved people and could and would talk to anyone. Everyone he came in contact with has a fun Kenny Karchmer story. He will be missed by the entire Las Vegas and Memphis communities. He is mourned by his children Randy (Laurie) of Memphis and Kendel (Mark Bornstein) of West Hempstead, NY and 8 grandchildren; Drew Karchmer, Josh Karchmer, Ryan Karchmer, Razel Bornstein, Arley Fine (Yoni), Ziggy Bornstein, and Ellis Bornstein, all of New York as well as his brother, Howard Karchmer (Renee) of Atlanta, GA and many nieces and nephews and cousins.
