My condolences to the Dennings family. I was so sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. I remember the twins and their sister as students at Wainwright Elementary. As a sixth grade teacher, I fondly remember Kenny, as a good student with a personality that matched his red hair. Kent and Kenny could bring a smile to my day and other days.. I would shake just my head. I have many good memories from that year. May you have many wonderful memories of Kenny and keep him in your heart. With Sympathy, Kathryn Urlaub Foley

Ken was a great worker and always positive. I got the pleasure of meeting him and him working for me and I once told him that if I had 5 of him I could run the whole department. There is so much I could say about Ken but I know that I would leave stuff out because he was such a good guy through and through. I remember that all he could think of was retirement so he could spend time with his family. He will be missed by all that knew him. My prayers goes out to the his family for strength through this difficult time.

Ken & Teresa –

We were heartbroken to hear the news of Ken (ny's) passing. We know words do little at a time like this, but we want you to know we are thinking of you and the family at such a difficult time. While it has been years since we have seen you, we are sure you know how much you meant and still mean to our family.

Ken was a hard worker who had a great personality. We always loved to joke around about Michigan and MSU football. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Ken. Ryan Klunzinger
