Kenny and I grew up across the street from each other in Sunnymeade. We played together daily and loved having playing Hide go Seek and having foot races. He was fun loving friend and a joy to be with. My condolences to Charlene and his family as he will be sorely missed . What a big family he had. Marianne Lunz Merrow
