So sorry to read of Kenny's passing... Condolences' and hugs to his family. It has been a long time since 1971, when my husband (Bill Hedleston) and I bought Maxwell Chevrolet in Cocoa, moving it to Merritt Island a year later.
Kenny was the New Car get ready manager on the Island. He was a loyal, dependable, honest, hard working man. We were fortunate to have him on the team. Kenny was an excellent employee.
Again, so sorry to hear of his passing.

Kathy,
I was saddened to read of Kenny's passing in the paper today. Kenny worked with my husband until his passing in 1976. Kenny was known as a loyal, hard working, trusted employee. We were lucky to have him.
Words are inadequate at this time to ease your loss, but know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Deepest sympathy,
Charlotte 'Hedleston' Houser
