I meet Kenny one short year ago at the Triangle Single's Club. I will never forget Kenny's smile, and his eagarness to help with cooking. He always made sure everyone was feed and content, putting us all above himself and his personal needs. What a great man, we will miss him beyond expressions.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Kenny's family during this difficult time. It was so good to see him at the last class reunion in January. He had a great big smile on his face. We will always remember him with that smile. God bless and keep you all.

I knew Kenny since the mid-80's, in Cary Singles. His last name reflected his nature. I have never met a sweeter, more gentle guy. When Summer comes, and I dare to wear my shorts to a dance, I will always remember seeing Kenny seated at the check-in table. I would peak under the table to see if he was wearing shorts. He would smile. There was at least one other guy wearing shorts! I think I will always see Kenny standing or seated at that table when I come to the dance.

I had the honor of getting to know Kenny thru Triangle Singles and the beach trips. I was new to the club but thought Kenny was very special. He always had a smile and kind word for everyone, his smile would light up the room. Thanks for being such a loving and caring gentleman.

To the family, and my great friend Donnie, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief.

I was privileged to know Kenny through the Triangle Singles club. He was one of the "Magnificent Seven" we called ourselves, a group that spent a wonderful day this summer in Ashboro at an airshow. I'm blessed to have this memory of Kenny and the times we had together. God bless you Kenny.
Love, Shelley

Kenny was a bright spot in anyone's day. I knew him through the Triangle Singles Club and his greatest joy was preparing meatballs, deviled eggs, sandwiches and hot dogs for our dances. Kenny always had a kind word for me and was one of the sweetest person's I have ever known.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.
