My very favorite Uncle! How I enjoyed all of our talks, all that we shared and your award winning smile. I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments.
We look forward to the day when we will be reunited. We know Jesus greeted you with open arms as He welcomed you home. We are sure He said: "Well done, my brother, my friend, my faithful servant." And we know you are dancing on the streets of gold before the Lord! Until we see you again we hold you dear in our hearts. We are naming a star after you and we are sure you will know exactly which one it is. Our love forever.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Auntie Joan, Keith and family, Dawn and family and Denise and family. May the Holy Spirit comfort all of you in this time of mourning. May the peace the passes all understanding be upon you now.

Aunt Joan, Keith, Dawn and Denise: My heart hurts for you because you lost a wonderful husband and father. I lost an uncle that always did and always will mean the world to me. I wish I could be home at this time, but I'm so thankful I was able to visit Uncle Kenny last May. I love you all. Debbie

Uncle Kenny, We'll miss your analogical approach in our discussions. You were the Uncle that I never had and did a great job at it. I hope you are sitting there with your brother-in-law and looking down at all of us now and enjoying every minute of it. We'll miss you.
Love Bruce, Lea, Brett and Dana
