Vicky Betty and family, my condolences on your loss of husband , brother, father and family member. I knew Kenny from work for many years at Mack Printing and would often talk to him when seeing him at work. He was a big gentle guy never saying a lot but his sister and husband are good friends so we always had that in common. Words are just that but keeping Kenny your hearts , he will always be with you forever.
