Found out today about the loss of a great man. Kenny was a true gentleman with a intoxing sense of humor.
I was fortunate to know him through my late husband, Kevin Deacon. They were great friends for many, many years.
Kenny touched my life and he was a stellar part of Kevin's.
You are truly missed and are still having a fabulous time with Kevin in heaven. You two knew how to laugh.

Both too young to leave us, but are so much happier now they are together having a blast!

Have a great time fella's, you both deserve it!

Kenny, you always knew how to say, "The Rox"! Just like Deac. You are one in a million!

Just heard of Kenny's death and are still in a state of shock. He was such a "big personality" who always brought a smile to your face. A man who truly loved his boys. Our prayers are with his family.

You know I knew Kenny through my brother in law Paul Amendolia, I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny through some plumbing he was doing for my Mother. Kenny knew my Mother was a shut in and did everything in his power to help her out, he worked all day and came and to fix a sewage pipe, and he got to work on it after we fed him some dinner, and I was down in the basement helping Kenny and he said to me I could be his plumbing appentice anytime I wanted. That was years ago and he left such a lasting impression, I can picture it like it was yesterday. Kenny coming in and hugging my Mother and reassuring her everything was going to be alright, sitting there talking to us. He will be sorely missed by alot alot of people and me being one of them. God Bless You Always Kenny.

Kenny Rice was one of the finest men to walk this earth. From his majic tricks that lit up my sons face , to cracking a joke that made u laugh no matter what mood you were in. My Father and his family grew up in Germantown also , and he would tell me all the memories he had with my family, that always made me smile. Kenny was always happy, so unselfless n ran to help you if he could without hesitation. Although I write this with a heavy heart, he had a one way ticket into heaven.He will forever be remembered as the man who was always laughing and happy in my eyes--but most importantly---a man that man loved his sons with his entire being. May you rest in Paradise Kenny Love always "Ri" <3
