He was gentle but could be very tough. He was a giving person, who supported his family and friends with total unselfishness. Kermit was a true family role model. He epitomized the hard work ethic of his generation and his friends commented that work was his hobby. He also strived to educate himself. He was very well read, kept abreast of current events and successfully influenced all his children to obtain the higher degrees of education that he was not able to pursue. He enjoyed dancing with his wife and friends at the numerous area dance halls. He and Arlene also enjoyed attending big band and jazz concerts.
