Kenneth was a long distance car hauler.And, on one of his trips[his last] he was killed by another trucker carrying large metal pipes. The man who was suppose to be driving the other semi got sleepy,let his inexperienced 18 yr.old son drive. The son came upon some road construction in Miami Okla. paniced when he saw what he thought was a man standing in the road.[It was a dummy waving a flag to alert pps of the road work] He swerved and went over into my brother's lane. Kenneth tried to get out of his way,drove over into the grass to try to avoid getting hit. But, the young boy followed him & his truck drove ON TOP of my brother's truck. My brother was killed instantly [his neck was broken] so thank God he did'nt feel all the other bad injuries he received. The young man was also killed. His dad survived with only a few scrathes as he was asleep and, relaxed in the sleeper of the semi.
My sister in law [Norma Keeble] was riding with my brother & came out of it with only minor injuries[thank God] as she too was asleep & relaxed. She loved my brother very much & never remarried. 22 yrs after he died she followed him to Heaven.
