I started work with Kenn 26 years ago at ENT. He was always fair, concerned, calm and lthe staff loved the "fireball" candy in his office.
He seemed to always smile and had a wonderful laugh.
So sorry for the news of his passing. May the Lord comfort and give peace to the family. No doubt he is in heaven laughing and rejoicing with the Angels.
