I was so sorry to learn of Kenny's passing. He came by my classes' 50th reunion in 2004 and I enjoyed seeing him so much as we reminisced about old times at Stony Point School.

I was so saddened to hear of Kenny's death. High School was so much fun as I remember Kenny always being a friend, funny, caring and just an all around great guy. Heaven is a better place now that he has joined the ranks. May our loving heavenly father hold all of you close during this time of grief.
