Aubrey J. Kennedy, bus driver
Aubrey J. Kennedy was a retired Greyhound bus driver who set a solid example for his children and grandchildren.
Mr. Kennedy, 85, of Williamstown, died Friday at his residence.
Mr. Kennedy was a kind, honest man who believed in putting in a good day's work for a good day's pay. He puttered in his garden and grew tomatoes and peppers that often wound up on the dinner table.
"He had a heck of a green thumb. He could make anything grow," said a grandson, Dean Bingham of Effingham, Ill.
"My brother once brought back some seeds from Germany. I think he has a tree here that came from that seed."
He also was a former barber and Army veteran of World War II. He was a member of Athens Baptist Church, Mendenhall, Miss., and a member of the Robert P. McLachlin American Legion Post No. 137.
Mr. Kennedy often drove his bus from Williamstown to Cincinnati to Lexington. He also drove some routes from Kentucky to Tennessee.
He kept a barber's chair at his home and often cut hair for family, friends and neighbors. He tinkered with tools and machines and had a knack for repairing just about anything, his grandson said.
"He could take things apart and fix them, too," Mr. Bingham said. "I was down in the basement, and I admire the different tools he used."
Other survivors include his wife, Gayla Perry Kennedy; a daughter, Darlene Bingham of Charleston, Ill.; sisters, Zona Knauff of Brandon, Miss., Willie Hilton of Star, Miss., and Rena Berry of Mendenhall, Miss.; two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
