Kenneth E. "Poodle" Grotewiel, 93, of Fulton, formerly of Mokane, passed away at Boone Hospital in Columbia on June 20, 2022. He was born on January 25, 1929, in Steedman, Missouri, to the late Hugo Grotewiel and the late Sibyl (McCeerey) Grotewiel. On February 28, 1953, he was united in marriage to Berniece (Stafford) Grotewiel. She survives his passing.

Poodle worked at Danuser Machine Company for 18 years and retired after 25 years' service as a Rural Letter Carrier. While he was proud of the service to his country and his community contributions, Poodle was proudest of his family. Often saying his greatest accomplishment was marrying his wife, Berniece, he also cherished his daughters, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Poodle was known as a Jack of All Trades, having the ability to fix anything--the pride he had in his workmanship was always apparent.
