Auntie Mona and my cousins,
I love you all and hope all the good memories we have of Uncle Kenny will shine through our sorrow. Uncle Kenny is enjoying a pain-free birthday today while we're missing him.
I'll always remember him for his outrageousness, hell of a sense of humor, our nicknames, his excellent truck rodeo skills, his crankiness and especially his caring. Those scratchy beard hugs, coming back to get my family when our car didn't run to bring us to the Cape and...

Uncle could ALWAYS be counted on to show up with us on Cape Cod & take care of all of the aunties & kids. I remember his cat named “Dog” who came to the beach on a leash--this could only happen with Uncle Kenny. I cannot even count all of the fond memories.

To Kenny Jr and family. Both Beth and I would like to extend our sincere condolences to all of your family members in the passing of your Dad.

I hope as time passes for all of you that you will be able to think back and remember good times and have it bring a smile or smirk and some warmth in your heart.
Your friends,
Beth & Bill Wallace
