My heartfelt sympathies go out to Kenny's family. Kenny was my childhood friend and neighbor in Dorchester and usher in my wedding. A true and faithful friend and one of the kindest people I have had the privilege to know. His spirit will shine on in those of us who knew him and called him friend.

i met Kenny about 20 years ago - through my friend Bob Sheridan who had gotten friendly w/ Kenny, IO and that handball group. I haven't seen Kenny in years but remember he wore his baseball caps on backwards, l called everyone honey and spoiled his dog.. Kenny was a generous man with kind soul. RIP KK ..
