He was my electronics instructor (Class of '68) and thereby very instrumental in my later life's success. I only wish I had had taken the opportunity to thank him earlier for his generosity of time spent. We could have had a great chat!

Mr. Kennedy was my electronics instructor at Camelback HS back in the 70's. He is hard to describe, but someone I've tried to emulate. I appreciate so much the example he left.

Mr. Kennedy was by far one of my favorite instructors at Camelback HS. Great guy. Great intellect and sense of humor. I remember the stunt he would pul in class by putting a big magnet to his arm so his shrapnel would protrude - way cool for teenagers. He will be missed.

I was in his electronics class my senior year. He was a good and kind man. I had a lot of fun in his class. R.I.P Mr Kennedy, Tracy Stevenson, Camelback H.S. class of 81'
