The Cordes family was my family growing up. As Julia and I were best friends. Their home was one I always felt loved and cared for in. Kenny was a great man! My deepest condolences to his family and friends as we mourn the loss of him and his father. Sending love, prayers and strength to you all during this most difficult time.
Rest gently Kenny
