He was born July 28, 1915, in Butler. He married the late Anna Lehnerd on May 24, 1941, in Franklin.
He has four children, Loretta Donaldson of Butler, the late William Kidd of San Antonio, Francis Kidd of Novato, Calif., and Jane Rak of Ellwood City.

Kidd retired from Armco where he worked in silicon maintenance. He is a U.S. Army veteran and was stationed in Germany soon after V-E Day.
