Maureen, Kenny and Patrick,
This man we all loved so much was one in a million.
He had so many unforgettable qualities...his sense of humor,his willingness to help anyone, his wild side, his caring and compassion, his 'devil may care' attitude, and his incredible strength. His very best quality was his love for the three of you, as well as his love for all of us. We are so grateful we were part of his life and love for all these years. He will remain in our hearts forever.
Love,
Kathy, John, Jill and Molly

Dear Cavs & Fultons,

From Uncle Kenny, I've learned so much. I've learned how to enjoy each and every moment in life, how to persevere and refuse to give up no matter what the odds are against you, and most importantly I've learned how important family is.

Tuesday nights won't be the same without "movie night", PMC weekend won't be the same without our favorite mascot cheering us on, pool-parties won't be the same without his swan dives and killer white russians, and holidays with the family won't be the same without his jokes.

I wish very much I was with you all now. Please know I'm sending all my love and support from here.

Caitlyn
