My condolences to the family.
Although he graduated in `69, I remember Kenny when he was going out with who was my best friend Bonnie Ross back then in 1970-71. Him and his dark green GTO he had in late 60´s-`71. He would meet us sometimes in back of RFA and he gave us a ride home from RFA a few times in the Green Goat, as he used to call it, that always was so immaculate that you felt like you should take off your shoes before you got in it. I think he was working at the meat dept at what was once Great American on Chestnut Street at the time. Because I picture him in a white butcher´s apron coming out to talk to Bonnie and me.
Also, now I remember, he took Bonnie to our Senior Ball 1971 and doubled with me and my date at that time. Kenny had his flask of booze in his breast pocket he kept sipping from that he said he needed in order to endure a tuxedo. Lol.
Always pleasant. Always really nice, quiet sort of guy who loved to fish.
RIP Beaner
Remembering you kindly
