Kenny had a zest for living and I was fortunate to share so many great times with him. He was so kind and generous, and always had a contagious smile that took over a room. You will be missed...I pray that you are in God's grasp and that his family will find comfort and peace. Much love to you all.

Just heard about Kenny's death. Was a shock. Sammy Andrews and I played a lot of golf with he and Jimmy Wright at Coosa Valley Country Club back in the late 70's and early 80's. My sympathy goes out to his family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Postlewaite family. We've known Kenny only a few months, living just across the hall. My son and I will never forget Kenny's smile, his kindness and his generosity. May God's blessings and comfort be with Kenny's friends and loved ones at this time.

May God Bless the Postlewaite family in your time of sorrow and be with you all. Kenny was a great friend to many of us at Deer Run Country Club and my family and friends are sad to hear of his passing. My family will never forget his friendship with my brother Dean, and his journey back here to attend Deans' funeral. It shows how big his heart was as well as his loyalty. He will be missed, but not forgotten. Fairways and greens Kenny!

Kenny will be missed by all of us in the golf community. I feel lucky to be a part of the Wildwood family now, but as a friend and sometimes playing partner of Kenny, I always felt a part of the Wildwood family before. My deepest sympathies go out to Kenny's family as he moves on to the place where he can watch us all make birdies and eagles in life.
