I remember Kenny well. He was a good policeman for Woodbridge and a good friend of my family. I was sad to see him pass.

Dear Bonnie and Family,
To say I will miss Kenny is an injustice. As a police officer he had it all. A beautiful family, honor, courage, dedication, respect, compassion and a sense of humor second to none. He was loved and admired by his peers. Those semi annual canoe trips gave birth to some of the funniest moments of my life. Kenny, his red union suit, a bottle of Yukon Jack and the Delaware River.... Perfect together.
God speed my brother!
