Rosie, Marco and family

We were all saddened to hear of Kenny's passing. He was such a kind and generous person, we all thought the world of him. He was so proud of all his children and always spoke very highly of all of you. Jimmy and I have such fond memories of Kenny, he always had a quick smile and something nice to say. We had such fun with him at the Amvets, at Rosie's house parties and wherever we met. I think he was almost as happy as we were when he heard we got married. The world has lost a great person. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kenny's entire family.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Pronovost/ Piermarini family. Kenny was a good man and was always funny and kind to me. On a few occasions I gave him a ride home from the AMVETS and he would tell me how much he loved his children and how much of an angel Rosie is for taking such good care of him. He knew he was loved and that is a blessing.
I will miss him........
