I have not seen Kenny for quite a few years now. I will say though that throughout my life when I would see him he was always very kind and always wanted to know how your life was. Kenny had a heart as big as the whole outdoors and a smile to match. As my cousin their was 4 years difference in our ages and he treated me like we were the same. A very kind and giving person to the end. He was a joy to be around. Memories of him will last a lifetime.

Uncle Kenny was a blessing and a work of art himself, not to mention the awesome art he created. He told us stories and had us giggling and laughing when we saw him. You're free to continue your journey. We love you and you will be missed.

I knew Kenny in high school when I became friends with his friend Doug Chapman. Doug and Kenny grew up together on Coatsville and were very close.
I thoroughly enjoyed every encounter I had with Kenny. He was often the life of the party. Later we had the chance to cruise together a bit on Motorcycles.
My best to the family.
