"WHO'S YOUR DADDY!!" OMG Kenny. I am so sorry to hear of his death, but I am also proud to have had the opportunity to have known him. I was never able to beat him in a game of darts or pool but I was able to win his friendship and share many laughs. I will miss him dearly. I only pray he was at peace and did not suffer. I send my deepest sympathies to his family.

I knew "Dad" from Abby Rd. He was always willing to give someone including me a ride home no matter how out of the way they lived. He taught me to shoot pool and to play darts. He always had a smile. My condolences to his family.

Uncle Kenny ~ I was just talking about you the other day about where you have been hiding since I haven't seen you around, then I get this news? I am still in shock! I miss you so much!!! I can't believe this! I will always play pool the way you taught me! I will always remember when you lived with me and helped me around the house everyday and drove me to work...one hand always washed the other. The last time I saw you was last year at your birthday party! I miss you so much! Why God? Why did you take such a great man? I don't understand? I will always treasure the memories we shared for the rest of my life! Love always, Your niece, Laura

There weren't too many people in this world like "Dad" and I'm so saddened to hear of his passing. He was a friend of my cousins and from time to time he'd stop by our workplace and always stay and chat for a while. What a great guy....

Helen,

I keep thinking back to our conversation a few weeks ago and you telling me our children are a gift to us and we have no control over how long we get to keep that gift, in that conversation I witnessed your faith, and strength...and I'm in awe.

Now I know you'll find your peace in knowing that Kenny is in a beautiful place....a place to continue all the good he did here, a place where his free spirit can soar, a place to watch over and protect his much loved family.

Your right Helen...a gift!!!

Love,
Terri-Jo

Ken was such a great person. Very friendly and always there to lend a helping hand. I shall miss seeing him around with his beard, bandana and pony tail.
