I got to meet, then got a chance to talk with Kenny over the last few months only. It was a way, way too short of time to enjoy his presence.
What such a cool person at 105yrs and a bona-fide WWII Hero !

What an honor to know and cherish a WWII Vet like Sarge !

Kenny has been the center of our VFW Post. I'm so honored to have met him and be able to spend time with him over the last 10 years. He will be missed. RIP Comrade, we know that heaven has gained another Angel.
