Uncle Kenny will be remembered as a Great Listener, a person to rely on-to give counsel when looking for advice and not to mention a Great sense of humor. I will miss you Kenny-God Speed. P.S I will remember your fairness in high school when I needed the reprimand or when you laughed at me without teasing me when I started the kitchen on fire while cooking and I headed for my belongings and started tossing everything out the front door while You, Chepa and Pearl where putting out the fire and you just laughed the whole time. Thank you Kenny
