What can I say besides that I lost more than a best friend, he was more like a brother to me.Everyone knows of his generosity, but nobody knows that we( kenny and I ) Ran a fundraiser at My former Bar, Truidd'sand we raised over $880.00 for the fire victims families. ....Kenny being the big hearted person that he always was, took $120.00 of his own money to make the donation an even thousand, and this was after we had both spent lots of money on food and prizes for the function.Or all the FREE disc jockey events that he has done to help people in need. I could go on and on, but in the 45 years that we have been friends, I have never heard anyone say a bad word about him, and that says a lot.I will end by saying that the whole Trudeau family has lost a member of our family with Kenny's passing . and I know that heaven has just gotten a new person to lighten all their lifes, like he has done for so many other people. We will always love and miss you my brother

I wish to extend our condolences to Kennys children and family. I have known Kenny for over 25 years and it was always a great and memorable experience to hang out with Kenny.

I met Kenny sometime ago, thru my sister Pam who was best friends with him. He spent holidays with us, and every other event we celebrated. He was part of our family. I was devasted by the news of his passing, and can only offer my thoughts and prayers to your family.

What can I say about a guy who meant the world to me. We met years ago when we worked together and had remained friends even after we both had left that job. He was the kindest most giving guy I knew. As a friend I introduced him to my immediate family and he was loved by them as if he was our own brother. My mom who loved playing cards, would always say "well atleast I know I can call Kenny and he will play cards with me". Whenever I needed him he was always there. I am very sad and there will forever be a hole in my heart with him gone. I love you and will miss you my best friend.
