Dr. Rev. R. Furman Kenney Sr.

It is with great sadness that I acknowledge the passing of Dr. Kenney. I accompanied him to Washington D.C. with the Honor Flight to see the WWII Memorial. All I can say is that is was my distinct Honor to to be with him that day. We remained in contact following the trip either via e-mail or at the Chesapeake. He was always the consummate gentleman. Although I knew him only for the last few years, I admired him beyond measure. I had heard that he was recovering from a fall but only...

I was so sad today to find out about Dr. Kenney. He was a wonderful man of God and so talented. I valued his friendship and will miss him very much. I will be praying for the family. In Christian Love, Ellen Braman

Just read about Dr. Kenney's death yesterday. We were watching a 1986 Billy Graham Crusade and I told my Wife, “every time I see Billy Graham I think of Dr. Kenney”. She asked me if Dr. Kenney was still alive, and I said I thought he was. I Googled his name and was stunned by the news. Although not unexpected, he was 93, you always wish someone like Dr. Kenney would never die. Without a doubt, he will live forever in my heart, and I will never forget him. When he conducted the funerals...

The entry dated March 14 which begins with the words "Dr. Kenney was pastor of my home church, Parkview, in 1956----for some reason my name was not on it. I, and my whole family, loved Dr. Kenney deeply. Just want you to know that entry was from me, Frances Lee Thomas Lane.

Dear Bobby and Martha,
I was sad to hear of the passing of your dad. I know that he is in a much better place, but I know that you will all miss him. I have such fond memories of your dad. He will always be to me an example of what a godly man should be like. May God bless you and yours with comforting memories.
God bless

In loving memory of a wonderful Pastor.
Many fond memories of Parkview Baptist.

To have seen him so few times, Furman was a favorite person of mine. My mother and father loved him very much. In fact, I wanted him to conduct my wedding in 1966, but he had a revival and couldn't do it. I cherish the letter concerning his memories of the Kenney gatherings in MS that he wrote to me when my mother Wilma, his first cousin, died. You have my sincere sympathy at the loss of such a wonderful father.

Martha and Bob: It must be so rewarding to read these remembrances of your dad and see the immense love and profound respect so many people have for him. I have such good memories of him and will always value the time I was able to spend with your family because of my early (and lasting) friendship with Martha. As our pastor, he was my earliest spiritual inspiration and was such a comfort to my mother through many of her life's challenges.
My love to you in this time of sorrow and in this...

Hey Martha, so sorry for the loss of your parents. I can still picture you and them like it was yesterday. Even though its been 40 years . Carson
