A photo of Kenny with our grand daughter.
Kenny was a kind soul who would make friends with anyone. We met him nearly 25 years ago when April shared community service duties alongside Kenny. Our family became close friends with him and we shared many holidays together. He joined us on trips to Lake Michigan several times as well as trips to see Lug Nuts baseball.
In the past few years he started to forget who we were and our times together became fewer. This past Thanksgiving was the last time we had him over to share the day with us.
We will cherish many memories of Kenny over the past decades. Together, we enriched each others lives in many ways. Goodbye to a dear friend.
Randy and Denise Klevickas, April, Ryan, Erin, and grandchildren.
