My condolences to the Kobb family in your time of loss. I will always cherish the times Denny and I spent with Kenny and Millie. Denny and Kenny together and who knew what may have been said out of their mouth, so funny, they were! Kenny will be greatly missed!

Kenny was always very kind to me, even though I did not know him well. Any time I was over to visit Denny and my mom and Kenny would ride up on his bike, he would share a joke and a few words. Kenny and Millie were also very kind to my sister, Darla, and I really appreciated that and respected them both immensely. He had a great sense of humor and a good heart. I am sure he will be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
