Henry Conrad Kenski

With many fond memories of our children playing together and of our friendship.

It's always good to think about friends. Hank and Margaret and their daughter Kate are the family members I knew and enjoyed as friends.

This morning, I began my day early and watched CNN. Reflecting on my time at The University of Arizona, I recall my valuable conversation with Professor Henry Conrad Kenski. I remember being his communication/political science courses where he taught the fundamentals without his personal bias and challenged me to ask tough questions in order for me to answer them.

Professor Kenski has had a huge impact in my life. Thank you! Rest in Peace.

Hank Kenski was a friend and a mentor. He was a man of intellect and reasoned insights a gentleman and a person of great character. I had the opportunity to know and work with Hank for nearly 20 years. The memories of working with Hank and Margaret I will hold dear. God bless you, Hank, you´re once again with Margaret. Rest in internal peace, good friend.

Dr. Kenski was my advisor and mentor in the political communication doctoral program at UA in the late 90s. He was an intelligent, kind, and funny man. I am grateful to have learned from him.

I knew Hank in high school as an opponent on the debate team: I went to Catalina and he went to Salpointe. He was smart and always very well prepared. Perhaps the debate training helped, as we both became political scientists. He was a good guy, smart, and funny. He lived a good life.

I am sorry to hear this news. Some of the fondest memories of my time as an undergraduate at the University of Arizona were studying under Dr. Kenski's direction. Thank you to his family for sharing their husband and father with all of us who had the opportunity to learn from him. What a life well lived.

Hank was a valued friend over the years, starting at Salpointe. We both wrote for the school paper and year book. When he was a legislative assistant in Washington for Rep. Udall, I was a legislative assistant for Sen Dennis DeConcini. We often worked together to solve Tucson problems. I hired he and Margaret to do opinion surveys in the Casa Grande area for a project I was getting funding for. What a wonderful couple.

Hank & Margaret we´re good friends, many years ago when I worked at the UofA - good people-

I worked with Kate Kenski for the past four years and I heard a lot about her father and what a wonderful and accomplished man he was. I wanted to offer my sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

I worked with Dr. Kenski for years, but sadly, not in the same place. I always learned something new from our phone calls, even if the call's origin was rooted in our office's failure to have the weekend FedEx properly stocked with the right reading material. Never know he was from Q-Town, the only place perpetually surrounded by The Corps! Our parish, St. Francis, was established after Dr. Kenski grew up here, but we'll have a mass for him in the coming days. Luckily to count Hank as a colleague and a friend.

Godspeed sir. You are Margaret are greatly missed.

I remember Hank as an extraordinarily professor and wonderful colleague. He was a bridge and unifier In departments where he served.
His insights into politics were fresh, original and very useful. He did all he could to leave his community a better place. I am happy to have known him.

Prof. Kenski was an outstanding teacher. His superior intellect and knowledge, personal warmth, and sense of humor made him an excellent communicator. I loved the three classes I had with him.

Hank Kenski was one of the brightest and clearest thinking scholars at The University of Arizona , a good man and always willing to provide good counsel. I will miss him as much as I do his late wife Margaret . Condolences to Kate and the Kenski clan.

Dr. Kenski was a wonderful friend and colleague! He was kind, understanding and a man of many talents. I am saddened by his passing! I send my sincere condolences to his family!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We were friends at Salpointe, actually in Salpointe's very first band together.
Later in life my daughter, Bridget and Kate were friends also at Salpointe. I am so sorry to learn of his passing as I was when Margaret died. We treasure our friendships and would like the family to know we are thinking of them. Please accept our condolences. Jay and Cathy McCall
