I have fond memories of my cousin Kenny In the early 60’s our family would visit Aunt Della and Uncle Ed in Hayward. My brother Michael and I would be so excited about getting to see and spend time with our cousins Kenny and Kathy. Mike would hang out with Ken, and I would have fun with Kathy. There was always music coming from Kenny’s room. Good times, a long time ago....
Many years later when I was in my early teens, I was hitchhiking with a guy friend from summer school. The car that pulled over was cousin Kenny. He said “Don’t worry Linda, I won’t tell your parents.”

Kenny and Cathy and I spent a lot time doing family things over our life time. I will miss Kenny's insight on life because he was the oldest cousin. All of the cousins looked to Kenny for the ground breaking "60's" fads. I don't know that any of us really understood the old folk's accordion band thing. I will never forget the hair-raising ride to Pinecrest with Kenny at the wheel of his Ford Pinto, passing cars going uphill with his best friend Billy gripping the dashboard!! I'm sorry I was not there Tari, but it was REALLY great that you both came to see Mom before she passed earlier this year. I know it was not easy. God bless you!

Kenny and Julie sorry to hear about your dad. You are both in our prayers. I know you both will do great in your chosen careers because of all the nanny cookies and pops you had at our house.
