Kenny and I had a annual relationship. I'm a Road Commissioner and Kenny helped me maintain our Township blacktop roads. Kenny was very helpful honest and dependable, I always looked forward to seeing him next year, we would connect after winters end and plan the summer work. Sherwin Industries has some big shoes to fill finding someone to repesent their company as well as Kenny. I spoke with Kenny last when he called me with his bad medical news to say good bye. I only heard of his passing today 8-7-2017 after calling Sherwin Ind.My condolences to Kenny's family, may he rest in piece, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sending condolences from Michigan. I worked with Kenny at Lansing Airport and Gerald R. Ford Airport. Whether dealing with him on the phone or in person at a conference he was always smiling and happy. He always told me about his beloved wife and kids with a huge smile on his face. I am sure he will be missed by many.
