For many years I have walked the beach streets as did Kent and Sneakers. We always stopped to chat or Kent would stop his truck to say hello and Sneakers would pop up to say hi. I admired his strength thru all his kidney issues. Kent could not have been a more friendly nicer guy-- always interested in how things were on my end. I am so sorry for your loss. Kent will be missed and thought of.

Mary Jane, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I didn't see Kent much but I sure heard about him from you (not that you like to talk). I'm sure you'll remember your good times together after the hurting stops. I've got you in my prayers.

Sending you my deepest sympathy. The loss of "B" is just unreal. He was truly one of a kind. He had a huge heart and was absolutely hillarious. He touched everyones heart that ever met him. He will be missed by so many. My hugs and heartfelt sympathy. He was a great Father, Uncle and friend!
Love, Lori Sykut Sirianni , Hudson, Tabor and Tiana hugs and love to each of you
