Helen,
I have such fond memories of Kenny from when I was a kid. He, Bill Daniels, Josh Spertoli, John Scagnelli, T.B, Ray Stevens, Pete Villa, Buddy Pagliughi & my father went rabitt & big fox hunting. One story I have often told was a dinner you prepared for all of us. After Kenny had a huge plate of macaroni, meatballs sausage, pie, cake & I can't remember what else, he then asked you "why you didn't have Sweet N Low for the coffee." I would see David Levari when I lived in Upper Township before we moved to Egg Harbor Township last year & I often asked about Ken. I don't know where the years have gone. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Ken was a great guy an accomplished businessman. He will be missed by many. Sorry, I will not be able to attend the service & am in Florida for February & March.
God Bless,
Carlo Melini

Helen,
Sorry for your loss. Kenny was one of the first friends that I made at JP Cleary school in 1946. He remained a good friend and a congenial companion. I will miss his humor and contagious laughter. Unfortunately I am in Florida and unable to attend services, but my thoughts will be with you, your family, and Kenny, a life long loyal friend.
