Kenny, it doesn't seem possible you are gone this long. I still think of you and the wonderful laughs we shared at work, and the help we were to one another. I still feel heartsick, especially for Karen, Brendan and Jonathan. You are truly missed and were truly loved, dear friend. xoxo Elaine

I am saddened to hear of Ken's passing. He was a lead teacher/mentor when I worked at Kennedy HS. He encouraged to be greater when he pushed me to work with LTI and as the Assistant Athletic Director. There will never be another like Ken...Praying for peace and comfort for his wife Karen and his boys. My deepest condolences.

To the family of Kenny,
I have the fondest memories of Kenny from way back. He and I worked at Erol's together. He was smart, kind and protective to all the girls he worked with...always walked us to our cars after a late shift. A fun loving gentleman. My deepest sympathies.
