I just saw from the obituary listing in the Dwenger Times, which lists Central Catholic obituaries that Kenny had died.
I went to high school with Kenny and also knew him from working at GE.
He was a great guy and I was proud to know him. May he Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
