Kenny, I have loving memories of growing up with you as my big brother and later on spending time with you and Mary Ann, Doug and Joanna.
Loved your quirky sense of humor and interests in all things tech, your expertise in outdoor cooking and your enjoyment of basking in the warm CA sun. You are missed. Love, your baby sister Barbara
