Zumald award for his leadership efforts leading a large bone marrow drive 16 years ago when he daughter Michelle Kirkendall Peterson was diagnosed with Leukemia. Recently Ron Kirkendall was also diagnosed with a form of Leukemia and is currently receiving outpatient treatment at the Southeast Cancer Center in Lincoln
