Kenneth was an interesting gentleman. And his faith was inspiring.

I met Ken through our interest in Art. He loved to draw and sculpt the human figure, and was quite accomplished. He was also generous with his knowledge of techniques and contacts and supported my work when on exhibit. I will miss his welcoming smile and his crawfish boils on the bayou.

I know he is at peace with the Lord, and I extend my condolences to his family and friends.

Kenny and I go way back to elementary school at St. Francis de Sales in the early fifties. He was a kind soul and always had a smile. Lost track over the years but occasionally bumped into each other and would always remember our childhood past at St. Francis. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. He was a great classmate of mine at St. Aloysius and I will miss his presence at the alumni events. God is with us.

To the family and friends of Kenny, I send my sincere condolences. I met Kenny in the 6th Grade and had been friends ever since. He was a remarkable person and very generous to others by giving food, clothes and toys to those in need. Kenny was also very religious and loved Blessed Fr. Seelos, wherein he would pass out prayer cards and pictures of him. I have several handmade Christmas and Easter cards from Kenny, that I will treasure. May he Rest in Peace in the arms of our Lord.
