Was the best uncle in the world

Kenny and I served in the army stateside in Fort Gordon Ga. at Fort Hood Texas and also in Korea. We became good friends and also his late cousin James Brown. After our military service Kenny came to Buffalo NY in the 70's to help me as I operated a disco club. He stayed with me at my parents place. We kept contact over the years but, lost it when I married and moved. He was the best friend I had during my military years. A straight up and very loyal brother. AFTER I LOST CONTACT I TRIED SEARCHING FOR HIM WITH NO SUCCESS. Today I decided to try and search the death notices. My heart is now grieving after I confirmed it was him with the picture and reading of the obit. MY God bless his daughter and family. Today is July 6th 2017.
