Since first grade together with Sr Mary Peter, you remained a constant friend. Even living across the country you always reached out and kept me informed on what was happening in NKY. Alarms a warm smile, a bear hug, and a boisterous laugh, greeted me and we picked up conversations as if we had never separated. Goodbye my friend RIP until I see you on the other side. God bless.

I am thinking back on all the great times we had at the softball fields years ago and also Turners and of course Goodtimers. Those are such great memories especially now that Kenny is gone. I always will appreciate his friendship and the times we spent together. I know his spirit will live on at Goodtimers going forward. He was a special person and I will never forget him. My sympathy and prayers go out to the family. Rest in peace with the Lord my friend!

Justin and Family, I Offer my deepest sympathy, prayers and love to the entire family. Kenny was an inspiration to me and many others. He always had a smile, asked how I was doing and tried to please everyone. He is a saint on earth. No one forgets Kenny after you meet him. Everyone will miss Kenny's sincere love of all people, but we have to remember he is in the arms of our awesome God and having a drink with Clay and God.
