I sure will miss you Kenny. Hunting season at the creek will never be the same. It's hard to imagine even going down there without you there telling me to go get wood for the campfire since I was "Low man on the todem pole." Can't wait to meet again one day and I'll miss you.

What a special uncle! What a special person! I will never forget all of our times on the creek..expecially after we moved from the beach to Troutville. I didnt understand why the creek moved the way it did and how to swim in it. Kenny showed me how to swim. Under the camper shells we would travel every weekend to our heaven on earth(the creek). We always had a place to go for family,fun,happiness and love! This man was a giving,loving,hard working, and caring man! Always, no matter why,what,when,or where was willing to lend a helping hand or just sit and talk with you or to joke around ! I will truely remember you for the rest of my life. You made my childhood memories very important...thank you and it gives me great joy to know i will see you again in heaven one day!!!Our loss was Heavens gain!! All my love to you and your family!!
