I was sure I sent my sincere condolences when this first came out (2019) but don't see it. Kenny was a good friend, a great bartender -- and we had a great trip to Freeport once (several of us). [All in fun]
He was a good-natured, caring soul -- and I cannot believe 5 years have already passed since we lost him and his/my close friend Sid Riggins around the very same time. Hope you're flying with the angels friend ! Prayers for peace for the family (I lost my mother this year and only NOW know the true depth of overwhelming GRIEF) -- so prayers go with all of you - always.

Frog. I never knew where that nickname came from. But it seemed to suit you. I always thought a lot of you. After graduation you disappeared. But your memory remained. It always will. Rest In Peace Kenny
