Jimmy so sorry for your loss. I know how close you were to your dad. I often recall hanging in your yard, your dad always had a joke and smile handy.

My parents lost touch with Cathy and Kenny over the years, but they were very loving and kind to my sister and I and we always had fun at their house. Even now in my 30s I still think of them and I’m very sad to hear Kenny passed. They’re good people and I wish nothing but the best for the whole family.

Kenny will be forever missed He enjoyed his friends and socializing with them. He had a sense of humor. which seemed to come out of nowhere. His smile, his demeanor seem to make everything better If you were having a bad day spending time with Kenny would somehow become a good day One of his famous statements was “you gotta roll with the punches Carol” Kenny you will always be in our prayers always in our thoughts and always in our memories We are fortunate to have had you in our life Love Carol and Robert Mcmahon

We remember Kenny for his smile. It made the day seem bright when he turned to you as he moved slightly away from fixing a car. He made it seem as though you were a welcome break, even though he was anxious to get back to work. One time we joked that his car was the one that was the most in need of repair, as he fixed all the others. That's the kind of person Kenny was, putting family, friends and neighbors needs first, above anything else. God bless Kenny for just being himself through all of life's challenges. He will be missed by all. Mike and Patt.

Our loss is heavens gain. We hope God does not make Kenny work overtime on all the cars in heaven. Kenny had a wonderful sense of humor,positive outlook and the willingness to help anyone who asked for a favor. He will surely be missed. He was a Renaissance man. Photographer,woodworker,tinker,mechanic. If it was broken he could fix it. If you were feeling down, he would go out of his way to make you feel better. The best way to honor Kenny's memory is ti try and emulate his willingness to do good gor others

Growing up on Bay 10th St. we had the best neighbors. Whenever we walked down the block we were sure to see Kenny fixing cars in his driveway. He was always pleasant to the kids on the block. One time I was walking down the block with a cassette tape that had become unwound . Kenny must have seen the look of distress in my eyes, LOL, because he walked over with a pencil, and 1, 2, 3…… All fixed. Prayers to Cathy, Jimmy, Kevin, his daughter’s in law and grandchildren. May Kenny rest in the sweetest place. Love Jeannette and family
