April 4, 1930-March 11, 2020
Kenneth L. Blunk, 89, of Ridgeville, Indiana, passed away peacefully Wednesday, March 11, 2020, while in the company of family members at his home.
Kenny was born in Putnam County, Indiana, on April 4, 1930, a son of the late Iva Murl (Salsman) and Lora Ennis Blunk. He was a 1948 graduate of Ridgeville High School and served in the Army National Guard. He was formerly employed by Gulf Gas Station and Bill Gamester Farming, and worked for over 40 years at Anchor Hocking before his retirement in June of 1988.
Kenny was the loving husband of Maxine (Lively) Blunk, who he happily married on Nov. 6, 1949, and sadly lost in 1998. He was a member of the sympathy club. He was a quiet and easy going man who enjoyed woodworking, bowling, BINGO, crossword puzzles, Solitaire, Sudoku, card games, gardening, working in the yard, watching NASCAR, Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune, Victoria Principal on Dallas, sitting on his porch enjoying the outdoors and traveling to 48 of our 50 states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) to visit family.
