KASPER, Kenneth “Kenny”, age 78, of Helena, passed away peacefully on the morning of May 30, 2018. He was at his home in Helena, Montana, with his loving family by his side. Born December 30, 1939, in Corvallis, Montana, to Theodore and Mary Kasper. Kenny was the second of five children. Kenny graduated from Fairfield High School in 1958. He participated in many sports and was an All-State long-distance runner. After high school, he joined the Navy for four years and traveled the world on aircraft carriers.

He then went to work for Mountain States Telephone Company and successor Qwest where he retired after a 38-year career. After retirement he continued to work at Rucker’s Furniture. He was a man who loved his family unconditionally. He enjoyed gardening, sports, especially Carroll College Football, traveling, and perhaps most of all his four-legged furry friends.

I talked to Ken during halftime at all of the CC Saints football games. He would critic the game and suggested some adjustments for the coaching staff. He was usually correct. He was a great fan and paid attention. Will miss seeing him there. He made it to the end zone.
