GREENSBORO-Mr. Herbert William Kennedy, Jr., (Bill) died Thursday, January 1, 2015 at Shannon Gray Rehab Center.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 P.M. Sunday, January 4, 2015 at Forbis and Dick, N. Elm Street Chapel. Interment will follow in Guilford memorial Park.
Herbert William Kennedy, Jr (Bill) is survived by his daughters Linda Kennedy Tysinger,(Curtis) Kimberly Kennedy Marsh and her husband Reid; five grandchildren, Chris and his wife Kim, Gregg, Brooks, Drew and his wife Brittany, Erin and her husband Jack. He has eight great grandchildren: Isaac, Ava, Autumn, Wade, Zane, London, Ryder, and Piper.
He was preceded in death by his son William Kyle Kennedy.
He was a self made man and he always did things his way. His favorite song was by Frank Sinatra, “I Did It My Way”. That being said, he was never to be upstaged, challenged, or put in place by anyone. He was very determined to do whatever he put his mind to.
He was a Sergeant 1st Class, Ordinance in the U.S Army in the 1950′s. He was like his dad in that he loved cars; dealing, buying and selling them. He worked at Cadillac Olds in Greensboro for years then moved on to the role of Sales Manager at Highland Motors in High Point for 15 years. He then decided to go in another direction, so he built several Mr. Biscuit’s. He eventually sold the franchise and built Herbie’s Restaurants in Greensboro, where he really enjoyed meeting people each day. He eventually sold Herbie’s to his good, sweet friend, Chu Swaney. With the car business still in his blood, he finished his career by opening Herbie’s Auto Sales where he sold high end cars off of Wendover in Greensboro.
He loved going to the GGO not just to watch golf but flirt with the pretty ladies; He also loved cars, dancing, and making a buck. He lived a very colorful life and was definitely one of a kind. Toward the end of his life he told us everyday how much he loved us and appreciated the things we did for him. We will miss him but know up in heaven he is keeping things interesting. He is at peace now.
