I remember so many family times with Kenny. My parents and I visited Mary, my cousin, and him in Charlottesville a few times a year. The picture in the obituary is exactly as I remember him sitting in his chair at the kitchen table talking about tv shows and many other topics. His love of Bill´s BBQ and Ukrop´s Chocolate Bar cake that my parents would bring when they visited became a staple of many lunches. . I especially remember how he loved Mary and their love of going to flea markets together and to the Bavarian Chef for special occasions. Also I remember how much he loved his many dogs over the years. Most importantly he loved his family unconditionally and that is the greatest legacy that anyone can leave. RIP Kenny! I will always think fondly of you and our family times.
