So sorry to hear of his passing. My mom's had his book laying out for the last couple months which has kept him in my thoughts. We always enjoyed his visits to Oklahoma and Arkansas He was a great cousin to my grandparents and the rest of our family. Truly a family man. We have several pictures of him at family events, we would be happy to share. Much love and prayers to his beloved family.

To my Dad, Kenny...thank you for trusting and loving me enough to walk the journey with you.We were together you, me and Bob to the end and Thankks again. Tell Mom and Penny I love them and one day I will find the end of the rainbow too so move a little to the right so I can add a color to the rainbow. You left with dignity, respect and love by many. Nice ride on the wings of angels. Now you can say you not only drove a bus but were lucky enough to fly with angels, on their wings right up to the top floor.
God Bless and take care of you.
Love, Anita Goodnight and until we meet again.

To Cousin Kenny,
I will always treasure what time we spent with each other. Even though we lived in two different worlds and had political differences, you were family. We always respected each other's position. As we heard our parents say "blood runs thicker than water."
As I told you in our last conversation two weeks ago, I love you Kenny. May you rest in peace now. I will miss you for sure!
Cousin Roark Moudy

Kenneth was an important part of the Moore family. He never forgot where he began his life and often visited his family and extended family in the Havana, Arkansas area. It was always a pleasure to spend time with Kenneth. He will be greatly missed by the many who loved him.
