Our entire family was saddened to hear about Kenny passing. We all have multitudes of memories with him. As a very young boy, I remember hanging out with him in the garage as he worked on cars and small engines. He was so tolerant of me asking questions and teaching me. He was always smiling and friendly whenever you saw him. I know both my Mother and Dad enjoyed his company. We are in prater for you and your families. God bless you all.

Viola and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when
Ken would let Dottie and me drive his car and I had just barely gotten
my license . ( That was real trust)
You are in my prayers
