My deepest condolences to Kenneth’s family. I had the privilege of training Kenny up when he came on at UAL BOS. He was always an eager learner and later on at jetBlue we shared a lot of laughs. I will miss his joyful spirit. My heart goes out to his family.

Everyday with Kenny at work was a day that you knew would be filled with laughter, sarcasm and his voice filling the air. From his little quick waves to me, that became a thing between us, to his smiles and always making sure he came to say hi to me no matter how many times he would pass by for a smoke. When my world came crashing down one night, he was there to calm me and think reasonably before giving me the strength to do what I had to. There is so much to remember about Kenny and so much that will live on forever in my memories and heart. Rest easy my friend. I love you. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Kenny has touched many lives as you have touched mine over the years. You not only were a great person you had the biggest heart and were always helping others out and were the first to volunteer. Kenny will leave a void in my life as he will in many that he has met over time. To his loving family and his sons who he truly loved my sincere condolences on the loss of a great person and a true father.

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you during these times.
