Kenny was one of my first childhood friends. We actively covered the turf from School 14 to Oak Ridge Park. Frequently, he made me look like the calm one. He was energetic, enthusiastic and athletic. We played on several baseball teams together. We listened to countless hours of music together. We even officiated a few basketball games together. As Altar Boys, we served many Masses together at St. Andrews in Clifton, NJ. All fond memories.

I saw Ken a little over a year ago and we sent the occasional text message. I know he found a happiness with his fiancée that he had never experienced before. I am saddened by his passing. May those that knew Kenny recall the zeal with which he lived life.

Go Rangers.
