Kenny was my cousin. I have nothing but great memories of him when visiting Uncle Frank and Aunt Helen.

There are so many memories for Ken that there isn't enough space to share them. As a kid, our families vacationed together every single summer. Countless memories of fishing, horsing around, playing in the camper and just a LOT of laughter. He was a coach for our bowling league as a kid where we were all lucky enough to spend the majority of our Saturday morning's together. I will always remember his smile and his laugh. My heartfelt, deepest sympathies to the entire family. Love - Ali
