This was revealed by his grandson Cory Schenkel, on his Facebook page.
He wrote, “For 14 years I took care of my grandparents. I have travelled on many business trips and movie shoots with my grandpa. I have gone grocery shopping and cooking with my grandma so much I now feel like it's a routine of mine.

"I have created so many great memories and I will enjoy them for life. While I am extremely sad that they are both gone (my grandma in September 14 and my grandpa this morning) I am grateful for the life, memories, and knowledge they shared with me,”
“They both lived amazing lives and I know they are resting in peace.”
Kennedy began as a radio performer but later put a hold on his acting career in order to serve in World War II.
