I remember Kenny as a kind and caring man who always had a friendly smile and a gentle words of encouragement and humor. He and Betty were a part of my childhood that I remember fondly. May God's angels comfort Betty and spread peace and understanding to his family.

As a member of the Sky Ryders Drum & Bugle Corps of Hutchinson from 1957 to 1961, I remember the good times we had with our bus driver,"Trimmer"! He was such a caring individual and had a great sense of humor! We learned to depend on his smile and willingness to help us in any situation! Our lives were enriched by knowing such a wonderful man!
