How can I do Kernel updates but keep the old kernel as an option in
the GRUB menu? I just looked at systems recently updated and in /boot
all the files for the previous kernel are no longer there.

For now download kernel and run 'rpm -i <kernel>' , this will not delete older
kernel. Though, I would check is old kernel still listed in grub boot menu.
