I will always remember and hold in my heart a place for Kenny. We had a nice relationship when ever I saw him. He was fun and very creative. A really nice lively person .I think about him and the times we did talk and spent around each other.
Miss you..
With Love,
Cousin Lynne

Ten years, seems like yesterday you called from the Range rover on your way home from the city and I joked at how many times you need to stop for gas. the day we arrived at JFK to spend the summer. Jps wedding and our winter together. Nothing we did together wasnt anything short of spectacular. I loved you from our first time we met and i will love you until I die.

Kenny - I miss coming to see you in Sag Harbor or meeting up with you in San Francisco for the day - or wondering just where you've landed - who you are spinning your web of love and creativity around - and just what Exquisite Expression of Beauty you have brought into human form. Thank you for being there with your caring, sharing, fun ways at some crucial moments - for our trusting talks and inquiries about humanity and Spirit. For loving Rumi and the Canine world so deeply and for nursing me back to wholeness after the break in on Camrose. Knowing you are making a big "Impact" in the Next Dimension. I wrap my Heart and Soul around you knowing you are flying High on the Wings of Spirit! I look forward to seeing/feeling/sensing you in all of God's Creation as I continue this Earthly Journey and move into the next dimension. Be at Peace! You are a life well loved! I love you - forever and always - right where you are! Candace (Carnicelli)

I met Ken though business almost 8 years ago. I felt an immediate friendship towards him. I did not know he passed away until I Googled him a few moments ago to get his phone number to say hello. I am deeply saddened. Rest in peace dear friend.

Kenny and I were like cousins and even after our paths diverged, I called him my "ex-cousin". Kenny was especially fond of Marlyn and my Dad and had some fun stories about them. Kenny loved to live large and had a great apartment in Buena Vista Park which really does have a "great view". I will always cherish my happy memories of our friendship. As impossible as it is to try, I hope Ann and Larry will gain some comfort from knowing how much Kenny added to my and so many others' lives.

Ever since I heard the news about Kenny, I've been remembering times growing up together on Arlington Road and his generosity and kindness. He was one of a group of us kids that shared lots of fun and many good times. I'm appreciating all the memories, his inclusive nature and compassionate spirit.
My thoughts and prayers to all.

Ken was the greatest single influence and my brother and my life besides my mom. He came into to our lives and filled the void that our real father could not. He and my mother were more than friends they were partners. Jesse and I will never forget him. Not the love ,the support or the constant intervention into our good and bad decisions. We thank him every day for Amoreena, Amber, Taxi, April and Ricki and now Izzi and Cooper.

Ken and I were soul mates. Friends for life. He was and excellent man and a great father to my two Sons. There are no words to express how absent we feel. Dustin, Jesse and Izzi were in excellent care under the wing of our Ken. Rumi and Ken are in heaven watching over us knowing we will take good care of his legacy.

October 20, 2010

Kenny was always so happy and fun to be with....hot summer days at the pool and great fun in the old days on Arlington Road. Wonderful childhood memories that will be cherished.We send our deepest condolences.

Ken and I were relatively new friends, but he had so many friends and admirers here in the Hamptons. What a talented, kind and creative man. Ken recently designed a ring for my daughter's 21st birthday. It was so beautiful and she was delighted. We were shocked to hear of his death. I had just spoken with him on October 8th and was wondering why I had not heard back and then one of our friends called this morning with the news. I know we will be planning a special memorial for him here by the water.

October 20, 2010

I am very sad to hear of Kenny's passing. I remember Kenny from way back when we were little campers at Mt Ida summer day camp. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very sad and difficult time in your lives. Love, Marcy Baraban
