I miss him

Kenn was an honorable man who always remained true to his convictions. I admired his values and wisdom. He was, to me, a teacher, a confident and a true friend. His wit and humor helped me laugh when I needed to laugh. He was kind, when I needed someone to be kind. He was thoughtful and caring and is one of my heros. I miss him. My prayers and condolences go out to his family.

We will miss the Irish Music on Saturday mornings as he polished his cars. He was the definition of a gentleman. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
