Bill Kitchen, 1928/1929-2007



Bill Kitchen, the longtime illustrator and cartoonist at the Miami Herald, passed away in his home last Wednesday after a short battle with pancreatic cancer, the family reported to local news media. Kitchen was 78.

During a 25 year run as a Herald staffer, Kitchen was best known as the paper's news story illustrator and the artist for the popular, consumer-oriented Action Line. A more rigorous editorial cartoonist career may have been out of the cards because of his right wing beliefs. Kitchen also worked for papers in Huntington, West Virginia and in Lakeland, Florida over his long career.

He was a high school dropout and a veteran of the Korean War. Bill Kitchen is survived by a wife, a son and a daughter.
