Kenneth Mundinger Jr.

Kenneth Keith Mundinger, Jr., better known as Buddy, age 76, of Peacham Road in Danville, VT died on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at his home.

Buddy was born in Durand, Michigan on July 5, 1948, beloved son of the late Kenneth Mundinger and Winnifred (Taconis) Mundinger. He was raised and educated in Michigan, graduating from Corunna High School with the Class of 1966. Buddy served in the US Marine Corp and then joined the National Guard as a full-time recruiter. On May 28, 1978, he married Cheryl Ann Berard. The couple was one week away from celebrating 47 years of marriage. Throughout his childhood, Buddy spent every summer in Vermont and loved his time there, so it was natural for him to make his home and raise his family in this lovely state.

He was very active in the Farmers Markets of St. Johnsbury and Danville and was a Board Member for Farmers Markets of Caledonia County. Buddy enjoyed woodworking and loved his dogs. He was a very proud Grandpa.
