I met Kenny in 1972 and was always amused by his playful nature. Along with his pals Mike McMahon and Carlton Good they built many homes together and were always fun to be around. In later years we learned that his son, Bruce, and my daughter, Faith, would wed and parent one of his many grandchildren, Olivia. Many fond memories! My heartfelt condolences are with you all!

As they say, all dogs go to Heaven; and, now, Kenny will be reunited with his loving dogs – Cotton and Candy. He was very very close to these companions and their demise was a big blow to him. Rest in Peace, Kenny, and enjoy your painless place in Heaven.
