My heart goes out to the entire Kenney family.Though it has been over twenty years since I last saw Frank, I have never forgotten the lessons in life that I learned from him. Frank Kenney is one of the few heroes I have ever had and it was an honor to both know and work for him.

Dear Dorothy, Connie, Paige, Jerry, Joe, Mary, Shannon, Timer (Tim) and Cob (Tracey),
It is with a heavy heart when I tell you that I am so sorry that you lost your Father. Having lost my Mom a year and a half ago, I know a little of how you are feeling now. He was an amazing man! Not only was he an incredible entrepreneur, he was gentle, kind and respected by all. He loved life and he loved his kids and your Mom! He made sure that you always had the best and that you had every opportunity available in life! Frank was not only generous to his family but to his friends also. Frank loved to go on vacation and we were fortunate enough to be invited on many of them. The "Americana" and the seaplane to mention a few! Golfing and fishing provided great vacation destinations too! Great times!
I remember as a kid spending the night and always saying the rosary kneeling in the "white room" of the big house with Dorothy and Frank before bed. In everything that he did, your Father was a great example of what it meant to be a faithful and caring person.
However what sticks with me most is his infectious laugh/giggle. It's as if I can hear it ringing in my ear!
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love to all,
Mary (Williams)Beard
