I worked with Kenny for many years and loved him for his wit, charm and kind heart. I don't think he ever realized how much he was loved and how much he will be missed.

My condolences to the family. Sorry to hear Keno passed away. Kendall, Gordy & Philip were my McGill, NV alley adjoining neighbors. Grew up & respected all 3.
I have a video that I recorded of Keno & others playing & singing at a Duck Creek BBQ.
Looking forward to the Ely celebration of life.
