Daddy, the pain of your death hasn´t lessened and I don´t think it ever will. I miss your advice and hugs that always said everything will be all right.

I worked with Kenny for four decades at what was originally American Can Co. and later Rexam BCNA. He was a trusted co-employee, easy to talk to, well liked and a friend! He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and I'm sure his family. We lost a great guy! He and his family is in our thoughts and prayers.
