Judge Kennedy was such a smart, nice, oh so kind, and hardworking man. I hope you know how many lawyers said, "I want to be David Kennedy when I grow up." He was my consistent model of how to behave in court, with other lawyers and clients, and then on the bench. I am so sorry he is gone.

To David's family, David was such a fine man--I always enjoyed talking to him when I saw him! I saw him a number of years while volunteering at the Waffle Shop during Lent & always got my hug! I've missed seeing him there the last few years! RIP, my friend & fellow Panther! Sending sympathy, love, & prayers!

So sorry to hear of David's passing. I knew him in our earlier years at Sears and knew then he would do well in law. He was in our wedding and Janet and I thought the world of him.
