Kermit was a very funny and stubborn man, he was also a father, “Pop pop,” and a friend. He retired from North American Refractories before working at Blue Mountain Golf Course tending carts. Kermit was a very hard worker and loved to create many projects in his free time. There were not many things he couldn’t fix. He also enjoyed spending time with, talking to and looking at pictures of his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and his great-great baby doll. Pop pop will be very missed, but we know he is now at peace with his wife.
