A true friend, from the first time we met. A proud father, and grandfather. I was amazed at how well and easily he stepped in for Claire.
Always, busy, always helpful, always planning, always patient. A straight shooter who didn't beat around the bush...I appreciated his honesty, and that he was quick to laugh it off in those more serious moments. I am so thankful that you brought him and his children into our lives, Carla. Kenny has been lost without him. We will both miss him very much. It is comforting knowing his faith was so strong and now his pain is gone. He's received his own Hallmark-happy-ending and is in the presence of his Savior, Jesus.
Our prayers and most sincere condolences to the entire family.
