Dear Carolyn and Kent Family - It goes without saying that no one had a more profound impact on my professional life than Kenny. He was a true pioneer, a great physician, a mentor without peer and a friend. Sheree and I send our condolences and our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

To Caroline and family,
We enjoyed knowing Kenny during your time in the Bridles!! He always had a smile on his face and was happy to answer all our medical questions , even when he was walking the dog. He was such an asset to the Washington medical community and he will be very much missed.
Fondly
