Ken was one of those nice guys I knew while in high school. Oh, those were some of my best memories! Leila, may you find comfort and peace in the days ahead and know that I always thought you were a great couple! Love, Toot

Kenny was a special guy in our little town of Clarence Center. I also knew him from Amherst HS student teaching in PE as I was a Cortland grad in PE as well. Always friendly, positive and all around great guy. I used to see him outside his house when training for track.
I am sure he will be missed by many.
