Kenny
You opened your home to me. You know as did your Dad that I would love and provide the best I could for your sister. You loved my children as your own. Oh how they loved going to see you or you coming to see them. Our conversations in your backyard and mine, sometimes never more than a few words, but those which needed to be said. Kaylas graduation, Kerris wedding, Lake George, New York City, Jeffrey, you and I going to see Jack, Dorothy and you just stopping in, all of us just laughing and doing stupid things. So many good times. I'll miss you bro. You did more than one man should have had to , for so many. We appreciated every moment. We can never forget.
Thank-you
Ron

No words can express how I feel. My heart goes out to Kenneth's children and grand children. Also to Mary Lou, Barbara and Wayne. The last time I saw Kenneth was 42 years ago. It just seems like yesterday when he rescued me from a long and boring visit with Aunt Fran and Uncle Les ( my parents ) and Nana and Pop pop. I will always treasure that day. I love you Kenny!

Dear Uncle Kenny
The best thing is i can remember all the good moments. I remember when you pushed my mom and uncle Wayne into the pool. Then they got out and pushed you in with your clothes on. I also remember when we used to go mini golfing. I Love you and hope you have fun in heaven.
Your Nephew

I honestly don't know where to begin. I am so especially grateful for the last six years of your life. You came up so many times to see us and introduced us to Aunt Dorothy. I'll never forget the times you were sitting in your back room with your thousands of movies, an ashtray and your lucky strikes. Or the time when you came up here and scared those three boys away by saying
" Marissa Who? " when they came to the door. You always knew how to put a smile on my face and I'm glad to have been as close to you as I was. You always gave me inspirational advise which I will continue to use throughout my journey through life. I love and miss you so much and you'll always have an enormous spot in my heart. You're another angel up there in heaven and I'm so glad you're finally stress-free and at peace. However- there is no doubt in my mind that in one hand you have Jack the other a lucky strike and a smile on your face.
I love you so much
Your neice

Uncle Kenny,
I think this is the hardest thing in my life. But one of the easiest things is keeping you close to my heart. I couldn't ask for better times than what I had with you. You making me laugh until I couldn't breathe then hitting my back so I could were the best days of my life. You brought so much happiness into my life. I think so much that it can't leave me. I hope your okay. Your finally at rest now and no more stress. Watch over my running, maybe I could win the 3200 meter this season.
I miss and love you so much
Love your nephew

Uncle Kenny
Wow! Where to start. I have so many fabulous memories with you! How about the time you and Aunt Dorothy came up to visit and made me dance with you in front of a room full of people. Or when you came to my graduation and somehow ended up in the pool. I cherish all the chats we had. Even the ones when you would yell at me for smoking when you were doing it with me. But I have to say some of the best times were when I would come into your back room, you'd be smoking a pipe and I would sit on your lap and watch Pinocchio together.I will never forget the loud and obnoxious " HELLOOOOO " you use to say everytime you walked into the room or the eyebrow raise you used to give us when we would have " serious" conversations. I have to say that for 20 years I was the luckiest neice in the world and still consider myself lucky because now I have an amazing guardian angel! You were absolutely amazing and I will cherish every memory I had with you.
I love you with all of my heart

My Dear Brother-The 47 years I was part of your life was a privilege. I could not have asked for a better big brother. You always made me laugh with your stories and crazy antics. I don't ever remember ever having a cross word with you. Unless you count locking me in the hamper while playing hide and seek or knocking me out of my cot when we were camping. I have many, many wonderful memories as do my children. We were so proud of the 37 years you served on the police department following in the steps of our father. I will miss you terribly but know you'll always be in my heart. To be part of your journey has been an adventure- to be part of your life is a priceless gift. You are at peace now- no more stress and I will follow your wishes to the best of my ability. Hope you hold the door open for me when it's time.
Love You Forever
Your Little Sister
Barbara Anne

My deepest condolances to Kenny's family. I went through the Academy with Kenny in 1972. We were cadets in the Fighting First, made Blue and stayed there. I left after working with Kenny for 14 years. He was a great guy. Took a lot to get him fired up. Kenny always had good stories to keep us amused on the midnights. Think about all the good ole days in Roosevelt. Once again, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My condoences to Kenny's family. My children, Kenny and Mary Lou grew up together. Walter was my best friend on the Hempstead Police for many years. I think of Walter every day. He was a great guy!
Again, my best wishes to Kenny's family.

I want to send my most deepest and sincere condolenses to the Wilkinson family in this very difficult time. I was able to spend 6 years getting to know this wonderful man and I am sorry that those years were cut short. I will never trade a single memory that was shared with him and only wish i would have been able to stay awake a little bit longer to join in when watched those movies. heaven is getting one of a kind.

Thank you for Rascal Kenny...I will miss you very much

I, too, am SO sorry. I'm a cousin from Florida (Aunt Frannie's youngest son). I hadn't seen him in YEARS! I was at the family reunion in Corinth in 1990, but I don't recall if I saw Kenny or not. I'll keep Kenny in my prayers.

My condolences to Ken's family. It was always a real pleasure working with Ken in the First. He was a great guy and a terrific cop. He always referred to me his 'evil twin'.

Kenny will be greatly missed. It was wonderful to work with him in Highway Patrol. He was on of the good ones. My prayers to his family

I was so sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. He was such a cute little cousin of mine. One of my first memories was teaching him to climb out of his crib when he was a toddler. My aunt was not too happy about that. It has been a long time since I have seen him and I wish I had seen him more over the years. My husband Pete and I wish to extend our most sincere condolences to his family and children. I'm sure he was a great dad and grandfather. Much love to Mary Lou, Barbara, Wayne and their families, as well. God bless you.
