Kenneth E. Heller, age 71 of Noblesville, passed away on Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at his residence following extensive health issues.  He was born November 23, 1945 in Elwood, the son of Delbert E. and Mildred S. (Waymire) Heller.  Kenny was a 1963 graduate of Frankton High School, and later served his country in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War.  During his 4-year tour of duty he was stationed in Vietnam and was a flight line instrument repairman.  He attended Indiana University, Ball State University, and received specialized electrical training with General Motors.  He became a Journeyman Electrician at the Delco Remy division of General Motors in Anderson, and retired in 1999 after 32 years of service.

Kenny married Cozette K.
