Kenny had a one of a kind laugh and smile. Anyone who rode a motorcycle to Fosters in north Gadsden ,all of those guys who were such good friends for many years, bring back the best memories. Peggy Wentz,Dale Denson and I spent our Disque years together almost every weekend. Prayers for his boys and the families that loved him. So sad for our classmates starting to leave us..
