I think of Kenny often and miss him. He, I, and Gary Araki were the G-A-P in GAP. Gardner, Araki, Part. Rest in Power, Kenny.

I knew Kenny since the early 80s when he ran The Crow's Nest BBS. He and Gary Araki and I developed GAP BBS (Gardner Araki Part) and we remained friends until we all just drifted apart. He taught me tons about computers in the early days. This is the first time I've seen his face. I never knew what he looked like because all those years, we never met in person -- always online. I just found out he'd passed. Aloha my friend!

Rest In Peace my friend. I've known Kenny for many years. In the last two years we worked closely on one of his projects. I consider Kenny a great friend, and he will be missed.

Though I did not Kenny personally, I did know him through this work with GAP bbs, which to this day I and at least one other continue to run. He will be missed by the BBS community and I wish him and his loved ones our deepest condolences. Our prayers are with you.
