The year is 1943, the heat of World War 2 continues, and the United States is finally out of the Great Depression Era. On a small street called Gual in Port Richmond, lived an Italian family of four. One sizzling, shiny, sunny Sunday, Kenneth Millevoi was born on March 14th, 1943. Along with his two older brothers, Gerald and Arthur, the new family is now five. As the years pass, the family grew close and created a strong family bond.

Kenneth always admired and respected his parents, who are Arthur and Stella Millevoi. His dad was a professional barber, and his mom took a part job of a matron. There she helped the special needs students on and off the bus. However, most of the time, Stella was a housewife and tended to Kenneth and his brothers. Times were tough, but the family figured ways to survive.

Throughout Kenneth's childhood, life was not simple, and he suffered many obstacles. His family was as impoverished as a church mouse. The family of five had little money to no money and resorted to gardening when they could not buy food. Kenneth's mother cooked the fresh meals from the garden every day. He soon developed a love to cook and later kept this love throughout his life.  Though he was not filthy rich, Kenneth was proud of his family and his Italian heritage.

Kenneth, like most kids, hated and was not fond of school. However, he discovered how straightforward math was and could classify as a math genius. Kenneth spent time in two separate high schools. The first one he attended was North Catholic, and the second was Frankford High School. Besides studying and working, the school was not all as terrible as Kenneth thought. In tenth grade, he met the love of his life, Phyllis. Little did he know at the time, Kenneth met his future wife. 

When he was young, Kenneth worked his first business. Outside his house, neighbors and friends dropped off their cars. On Saturdays and Sundays around seven at night, he washed and waxed all their vehicles. Sometimes he bargained his neighbors to type his homework for free car washing service. Kenneth always had a passion for automobiles, and he would later carry it on to when he was a teenager. 

Elkton, Maryland

Four years later, Kenneth and Phyllis decided it was time to take the next significant step in their relationship. They were scared of their parent's disapproval, so quickly they packed up and eloped to Elkton, Maryland. They joyously declared their vows for each other. Furthermore, begin their brand new life together.

Even though Kenneth and Phyllis were now married and living together, life did not get more amicable. Right after the wedding, Kenneth managed the three jobs he worked every day. He was not only a milkman but a bus driver as well. Also, Kenneth mainly worked as a mechanic and repaired cars. Under all the pressure and stress, he continuously worked diligently and relentlessly towards some of the best moments of his life, and provide for his family.

The first son of Kenneth and Phyllis was born on January 20th. His name was Kenneth Jr. and named after Kenneth. Soon after, Janice was born on March 1st, 1966. Following that, Kevin joined the family on April 1st, 1971. Finally, the last member of the family was Nicole, who was born on October 16th, 1974. Now Kenneth faces the challenge of raising four kids and supporting them.

In 1967, Kenneth started his own auto mechanic business with his brothers. Overtime, Kenneth owned four different stations: an Exxon, Parkwood Autoparts, a Sunoco, and Millevoi's Goodyear all over the Philadelphia area. Yet times were never easy for Kenneth or his family. Around the time the Sunoco was the primary station, a lady named Donna worked for Kenneth, his brother, his cousins, and Jim. Jim was Kenneth's new son in law. Secretly, she stole and hid money from multiple businesses. By the time Kenneth realized what she had done, Donna already took thousands of dollars. Later in court, he received some money back, but Donna was sentenced several years in jail

Throughout the children's adolescence, the family frequently moved houses. First, they lived on Loring Street, and that is where Ken Jr. grew to the age of 10. Second, they moved to Proctor Road, and the youngest, Nicole, was born. The family then resided at an apartment to wait for their new house on Eden Street to be constructed. As they were living there, the apartment caught on fire, but everyone got out safely. Phyllis and the kids stayed at her mom's house, and Kenneth subsisted with his parents. So, he could still work and support the family. Finally, after living apart for a couple of months, the house on Eden Street was completed, and they moved in.
