Kenneth Bonavitacola

I was only 10-ish when Kenny was grilling my cheesesteaks & hamburgers ar B&G´s in South Philly, but he treated me like a King...& i could see clearly, he had a burning desire for MORE inside...well, just lookie what he accomplished, to inspire us StreetRats

I met Kenny at the Warren Group where we both designed for different divisions. We travelled to Europe numerous times for market research and I always enjoyed his company, warmth and positivity. He always called me "Mister Shaw" which I can hear him say to this day. Sadly kenny left us all way too soon, he still had so much more to give. Kenny made this world a much better place with his kindness and happy spirit. He will be missed dearly by all who knew him. May he Rest in Peace. I am...

This kid from South Philly!! What an inspiration, what a joy, what a life. And what a writer. I really enjoyed his daily facebook posts and was looking forward to his story. Kenny gave so much and had so much more to give. He certainly will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Kenny was such a joyful, vibrant man. I still have our picture together on the first day of school. Blessings and peace. Donna & Santo

Rest in peace, Kenny. You were so loved and will be missed.

To the Bonavitacola Family, We were saddened to hear that one of the glittering lights of Seventh Avenue has been darkened forever. Linda and I both worked with Kenny in the 1970's and had a lifelong friendship. Whenever we met on the street or over a dinner table, his bubbling personality always dominated the moment. What a joy it was for us to spend time with "Mr. Kenneth." We are thinking of you today and send our heartfelt sympathy. And all our love, Tom and Linda Platt
