So sorry to hear about Kenny, WOW what great memories we have. He could sure make that piano talk. Do you suppose the Lord has a big baby grand in Heaven? maybe we can all gather round some day and sing forever while Kenny plays. Please know we are praying for Gods comfort and peace. You are always friends to us. Much love and prayers.

I am saddening to hear about the loss of Kenneth. I worked at his bank and have known him for years. We were always glad to see his smiling face and listen to his stories about how God has graced someone he knows. He truly was a believer and expressed his love not only with words, but with his music. He will be missed. I know Kenny is truly joyous of that he was called home.

So sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. He was a wonderful, godly man who had a smile and handshake for everyone he met. Everything he sang about is a reality for him today. We will miss him dearly. Heaven has welcomed one of God's talented musicians.

I have only known Kenny for about 3 years. He was a humble and caring man who always had a word of encouragement. I knew I was in the presence of God whenever Kenny was around. Heaven has gained a good one!

I am so sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. He was a great pianist and had such a dedication to serving our God and being a big part of the church. He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his family.

Kenny has been a great friend for many years, I knew him when he was a kid playing at Kansas Fellowship Meetings, and when he played for our church in east Wichita, and again at Interstate Exterminators. I loved to hear him play Amazing Grace and many other great songs. He will be greatly missed. Marvin Valdois, Kearney, Neb.

To the Ken McClintock Family.
There will always be people who are blessed of God with special talents, but those blessing are best passed on when one shares the gift and the music ministry that Ken had truly blessed many people including my wife and I. He once said to me, "If you can sing a line or two, I think I can play it." He did and I sang with praises to the Lord for the gift he shared with me. Rev. J. Rollin Hole.

Sorry to hear about Kenneth. My family and his family went to church here in Attica, Ks several years ago. I remember him playing the piano which was great. You are in my prayers. My maiden name at that time was Shumaker and his sisters went to school with my brother and sisters. God bless you and your family.

Very sad to see that Kenny has passed. His job here in this world was finally done, he has now gone on to be with those he had o say goodbye to long ago. My thoughts and memories of him and Linda and David are special to me as I remember growing up with them around us as part of our gospel singing family. He will be missed.

We thought very highly of Kenny he would ALWAYS walk over and say "hello" and shake hands when Mom was well enough to be at church. Our prayers to his Family at this time...Debra McGregor & Jim Yancey

Kenny has always been there for my family, whenever any of us had good news, or going thru trying and diffcult times. And always put God first and always willing to pass on the good news of our Savior. We hadn't been in touch as much as we could have been after my sister, Linda, passed away, but still connected once in a while. Last time I talked to Kenny, we talked of getting together soon,maybe at this Christmas. But we can get together in Heaven later, and what a reunion that will be. Love you, Kenny. My prayers are with the family.
Bobbi Loyd and family.
