Kenny, You are my brother, but you were also my friend.We could talk about anything.We had so many memories....John Winthrop School;going to the corner stores for the watermelon stix;riding our bikes to the cascades and just about everywhere.We were so lucky to live next to 90 Acres Park.We lived in those woods---the museum;the pond;sledding down to the firehouse when the road was pure ice;the dump;the golf course; the unforgettable family vacations;Kettletown and Candlewood Lake;playing baseball on Folino Drive;the crazy drinking years at the Walburn and Barnabys,Putnam Park and Seaside;your crazy white van partymobile and the time I missed my ride back to Boston when I was in school and you,Grace and Calvin brought me back;Yankee games;watching football at psycho mikes;good times hanging at the Hilton and Nugget;Lost and trying to analyse what was going on.I just can't believe that this happened to you and you are gone.I miss you so much every day.I just don't understand why God took you from us....maybe He needed His car fixed and knew you were the best( which you were!)
Love and tears for the rest of my days on Earth, your sister, Sue

uncle kenny,
I will miss you very much :( you were always so special and I will always remember during my summers waiting for you to come with your white van to aunt sues house for a visit. I especially remember you giving me and aunt sue the masquerade mask. But all of the best memories lie with the trips cross country and going to the frog jumps! I will miss you very much

Uncle Kenny,
words cant even describe how great of an Uncle you were to me. You brought so many amazing memories to my life that I will hold on to forever! Some of my favorite memories that I think of all the time are the wonderful times we spent up at the Calaveras County Fair for the famous Frog Jump!! I will never forget how we put all those bull frogs in the tub in the hotel room and how you got me up on that stage (holding my hand) and teaching me how to jump those frogs :) I would give anything to rewind and go back to those days. I will never forget when you would send me the “Highlights” books growing up along with the $2 dollar bills in my birthday cards. Ill never forget collecting those bottle caps with the puzzles on the inside of the caps from your beer, making the crocodile shadow puppets, listening to you and Dad talking about cars, sitting on the couch and watching our favorite movie of all time (The Wizard of Oz), Frenchman’s Lake, Lake Tahoe, Hot August Nights, finding that kitten outside of your shop and bringing it back to life, Thanksgiving at Aunt Sue’s, spending that amazing weekend with you when you came to visit for Superbowl, receiving all your news paper articles in the mail of all the current events, theres soooo many childhood memories to put on here, but the one I cherish the most is being called your “Crocodile“, that nickname will live on forever!. I really wish I could have told you how much you meant to me and how much I adored you as my Uncle. I love you so much. I wish I could have spent more time with you. It hurts so much that you went so soon and so young. You will live on forever through us. I love you and will miss you forever.

Love, Your Crocodile

To Kenny's family - I am so sorry for your loss and that Kenny was taken from you so soon. I graduated from Tech with him in 1972. Although we have been out of touch for so many years, I never forgot Kenny's fun loving spirit, laughter and most of all, his kindness.

With my deepest sympathy,

To Kenny's family. my thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Kenny during our days at Tech. There was never a day that Kenny would'nt make you laugh. I remember him having this big white van with a wood frame on top with lanterns dangling off it. It was the funniest thing on wheels. Only Kenny could create somthing like this! Peace be with you Kenny.

Shooting our weapons down six mile canyon,dirt bike riding, times at the Brewery in Virginia City and dancing in the snowy streets. Listening to the Beachboys in your Vette and the list of memories goes on and on. I thank the good Lord for having such a wonderful bro as you. It was for me like hitting the Lottery... You taught me and showed me the way like no other has shown me and I wish I had more time with you to tell you how much you meant to me. I'll Love you and miss you forever, until we meet again Kenny you'll be inbedded in my broken heart forever. I just wonder why you had to go so early, I guess your needed up with Mommy & Daddy and all the rest of friends and family....it hurts so bad but I'll be strong like you... destroy all monsters....
