My condolences to Kenny's family for your great loss. Kenny was one of my good buddies during our junior high days. After I changed schools, I didn't get to see him regularly, but it was always a treat when I did. During our adult lives, we both enjoyed bluegrass music, and it was fun to see him and catch up at bluegrass festivals. I have many good memories of Kenny.

I am very saddened to hear of Kenny’s passing. We worked together at the Athens Mental Health Center and became friends on and off work. I remember Kenny organizing bus trips to ballgames in Cincinnati. When a group of us wanted to travel at the last minute, he would pile us into his big white car and take off. He was always willing to help out. My deepest sympathy to the family in this time of loss.

We are going to miss and love you grandpa. Please keep watching over us and all the family and grandma Teresa and your kids as well. Please give grandma Betty and uncle Tony and my brother a hug and let them all know that I miss and love them very much. You will never be forgotten until we meet again save me a seat and be at the gate for when God calls me home.
