In memory of 55+ years of all the chats we had at Ziggies even on the post office steps about Elvis who we both loved & also the G.O.A.T POTUS our favorite President Trump. We could really talk up a storm over them & other daily/political issues. You will be greatly missed.

I send my deepest condolences to his family. I just now found out although I knew you for over 55+years. We always got along and we always had to have our chat over current & daily issues when we saw each other regardless of where we were Ziggies or even on the steps of the post office. You will be missed by all whose life you have touched.

Kenny was a beloved cousin. I will always remember the respect he showed my mother Dorothy, Kenny's aunt. He visited frequently over the years and they were always close. I have fond memories of riding in Kenny's convertible when I was a kid and of his visits during the holidays. He was always fun to be around and I know our whole family enjoyed his company. We will miss him. My sympathy to the family.
