Kenny was a great guy, but not only just a guy he was my pappy. He cared and loved his family. We have so many great memories together that will never be forgotten. I had an amazing 14 filled year with him. My favorite part was his popcorn me and cousins would beg for him to make it at our sleep overs. He is so good at checkers and always beat me. I will miss him so much. I´m so proud to call him my pappy. See you later alligator.
