Not sure what to say?

Kenny was one of the good guys. Fairly low key in high school, but a good and reliable friend who led a rich, full life. May he rest in God's peace.

Dean,

I am incredibly sorry for your loss. My family sends an endless amount of love your way.

I'm very sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. We were neighbors and good buddies on North Market Street during the 1940s and 1950s. Even in those younger days he was the Cool guy in the neighborhood who we all admired and respected. Goodbye to a good man, a great musician, and a darn good catcher- the Lions Little League team.

I loved music by Damion and the Classics and went to see them whenever they were at the Brunswick Fire Hall. I can still hear Kenny singing 'See the Funny Little Clown'. He was so personable and always greeted his fans with a smile. I still have a little picture of the band that they used to hand out at the dances.

My condolences to my friend and band mate's family. I hope the future is bright.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

To Kenny's family: I knew Kenny the "Flash" many years ago and remember him as a caring father, musician, showman, and friend to many. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I send my deepest sympathy to the family of Kenneth. He and I served together in the U.S. Reserves in Frederick many years past. He was such a fun person to be around and I'm sure his family will miss him dearly. He was always proud of his music career in those bands. God bless.

RIP KENNY AND THANK YOU FOR GREAT TIMES DANCING TO YOUR MUSIC. ONE MORE ADDED TO THE HEAVENLY BAND.
