His wife of 55 years, June Nunn, and his sisters, Jean Cunningham and Juanita Jacek, both of Minonk, survive. Also surviving are four children, Kenneth E. Nunn Jr., Daniel A. Nunn, Randall A. Nunn and Linda I. Wallace, all-of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Texas. Ken Nunn Sr. also had six grandchildren Dr. Andrea M. Parker, DVM; Daniel A. Nunn II; Jamie F. Nunn; Jennifer E. Nunn; Rudy F. Wallace; and Anna N. Nunn.

Mr. Nunn was preceded in death by his mother, Birdie Nunn; his father, Van Nunn; his daughter, Janet A. Nunn; and his sister, Oleda Hock.

Mr. Nunn was a graduate of Minonk Community High School in 1943 and subsequently joined the Navy, serving in the South Pacific. He was honorably discharged in February 1946 as a radio operator, second class, and received the Victory Medal World War II for service to his country.

Mr. Nunn retired from the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad in 1984 after 40 years of service. For most of that time he was a director of industry service for freight operations at numerous locations. Ken Nunn was a loved and respected employee with that company. His outside interests included fishing and gardening. Ken and his wife, June, traveled extensively after his retirement, ultimately visiting all 50 states of the USA.

At his request there will be no funeral, but a celebration of his life will be held June 12, 2004, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Anyone wishing for more information should contact his son, Dan, at (817) 488-8214 or e-mail him at DANNUNN1@aol.com.
