Well, I went to school with Jody at Bishop Hartley.I first met Kenny when he was working with his father detailing cars at the dealership in Columbus I watched He and his dad align the doors with a two by four that they would jack around to get the doors to line up. And I was just amazed at how fast they were at preparing cars to get sold. In those early days, Kenny was a racer and had a really fast plymouth. We would go out on Groves road at night, and the quarter mile mark was right at kenny's parents driveway. Some nights his mother would come out with a broom and get after us. He always had a smile for me and never refused to help those that were in need. I'll see you soon. Bob Poast.

I was blessed to be introduced to Kenny through my soulmate Bill, and I can honestly say I never met a kinder sweeter human being. He would give you the shirt off as back. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed! Love Sunni

Kenny was fun to be around and my memories of him will be with me forever. I am sorry for your loss and will continue to pray during this difficult time. Hugs and love always,
