To The Family of Kenneth Richards, I worked with Kenny for 23 years at the Orchard Park Police Department. He was a friend as well as a co-worker. He was a caring man who was always there for his friends! He will be missed. Just wish he had retired earlier and had more time to enjoy life and travel. Nancy Janish
