A life well lived.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I had many political talks with Mr. K and Tom Allt over the years. He gave me some good advice over the years. I was just a student, but you could always talk to Bob. Glad i got to have some small talk at Ted Bowen's memorial. RIP Bob Kennerly, you did lots of good things for Yuma.

We were both saddened to get the news of Bob's death. He was truly one of the good guys and will be missed by all who experienced his friendship. His
humor and emails will be archived and

He kept in touch and I appreciated that very much!
No more pain and suffering as he rests in the presence of his Lord!

My condolences to his wife and family. Mr. Kennerly was always there for my parents and me. He will be missed.
