He was a card shark when it came to playing 7/27! He will truly be missed at poker night, always had a story to tell and always wanted to hear your story! I love you, brother!

Kenny was a great neighbor--always waving and helping with advice--this past summer he helped me with my lawnmower since my husband is in a nursing home. I will miss his smile and gentle nature. Judy Kaniasty
