Kenny my friend, I miss you very much. I talk to people as if you are still with us. Anyone riding a Harley or driving a tow I always ask "do you know Kenny Bear". I used to love dropping
off something I cooked to you at the Fanual Hall Harley store or when you let me cook for you at my kitchen in the Palace. Anyone who had you as a friend is very lucky, you were so kind. And you have an infectious smile. I love being your friend and was proud when you called me yours. I miss you so much my big friend but my thoughts of you keep me smiling. I feel very luck to be your friend. God bless you, Roger "the Palace Chef"

Kenny was an awesome guy! I never forgot that good feeling it was to hang out with him, his dad and Johnny A. in the Pallotta pool in the summer of 78/79. They truelu treated me like family ... which you never know, I could be ... being a Gentile and all.

Bear, Just heard of your passing, we lost touch but were never apart, your warmth and friendship were always there. You had a gift of making everyone feel special, that was special in you. As my "not so little" little brother in the frat we shared quite a bit, laughter, hard talks, ridin in your supra, finding your gold "bear" necklace, finding a few street signs, great memories.. I still have the paddle that you made hanging in my home. I often think of you and my prayers are with you and for your family as they fill their loss with the memories of a life that was truely lived. It looks like you made your mark in life "your way" and have the love and friendship of many to carry on your warm memory forever. You are missed. RIP.. Andy Marquis

I miss hearing your encouraging speeches...I had to get 4 more shots in my spine yesterday without you!! I did it thinking of what you told me before the first one , and I was fine. I am so very lucky to have had you in my life. You will NEVER be forgotten. I love you and miss you.

Kenny Bear,

I only had the honor of meeting you a few times at the pool, but the stories that Karyn has shared with me make me feel like I have known you for much longer. Your presence and spirit has been a first of many things for me. The first family I've ever met with such extreme kindness and generosity to everyone they meet, the first wake I have been to that had lines longer than rides at Disney World, and most recently, the first time I've ever stepped foot in a tattoo parlor! I went with Karyn the other day to take some pictures of her getting a tattoo that would forever be something that she could look at and let the world know how much she loves you. She got a bear paw with Kenny Bear underneath it on her foot, and it looks FANTASTIC! You were so loved here on earth and I know that you have all of that love with you up there with the angels. Watch over your family Kenny, they miss you like crazy.

Karyn's pal, Val

Mario,
You'r Dad was so proud of you, I remember so many storys he has told me from the time he showed me your little league picture, when you were so young. Then the birthday you had at the Celtics game and you were the ball boy, your Dad was just as excited as any young boy would have been!! Then you went to get your licence, He was SO happy for you, and talked about all the cool cars he wanted you to have. You were and im sure still are the apple of his eye, and you are very lucky to have had a dad like him!Im sure he is watching over you and just so proud of you! You are going to grow into a great man just like your Dad!! I am so sorry for your loss, Be strong!

Kenny Bear was one in a million.He made the world a better place for thousands of people.Some people will live their whole life and never meet such a great man. Kenny treated everyone like they were family and had a way making your day brighter whenever you saw him.The wake and funeral were amazing, the love for Kenny was unbelievable.Remember what Gennaro said," Don't be sad for Kennys passing, instead celebrate the great life the BEAR lived !!!! That is how the Bear would have wanted it. We are all very lucky to have known such a Great Man. Watch over us big guy.

Kenny grew up next door to me and my 10 brothers and sisters. We shared a cradle and he was my best friend until he moved to Revere at age 6. We went to the Immaculate Conception School for 1st grade. I was a little squirt and he was always big and he always looked out for me. When I didn't have a nickel for a candy bar, Kenny would whip out a fin and say, "whatever you want, Jacky." We never lost touch. I would visit Case Drive and swim in the pool throughout my teens and twenties. "Auntie Claire" and "Uncle Mario" treated us all like gold. I love them very much and they were an important part of my life growing up. I last saw Kenny at his Aunt Jeannie's wake two years ago. We never skipped a beat. I am devestated by his loss - my heart hurts.

We cannot find the words to tell you how sorry we are for the loss of your wonderful son Kenny. He was a great guy with a smile on his face everywhere he went. He will be surely missed by all of us.

I was just supposed to come visit you this coming week. I hadn't seen you in so long and I was so excited to get a long awaited a "bear" hug that let me know everything was ok. When I was new to Mass. you were a gift that came into my life at the perfect moment. I always felt like you were my guardian angel and will continue to know you are for the rest of my life. I will continue to feel your loss for a long time and I can't imagine this pain in my heart fading. My deepest sympathies to your family and loved ones. Whenever I was with you...you spoke of all of them with such love and admiration. I am at a loss for words to describe how very much I am going to miss you. I love you so much Bear. You will live on in my heart forever.
