Dad, I miss you so much man. I still can’t believe you’re gone and I keep going to my phone to call you as things happen through the day I want to tell you about our after the boys soccer games to tell you how they did. The first game Jayce had after you passed he scored 4 goals and I just know you were watching down smiling and yelling “YAAAAA!” like you always did. That’s who you always were, someone who cared and loved his family so deeply. Every time we would talk would be spent laughing about random things throughout the day and when we were together it was the same. I’m so grateful to have called you Dad and I hope I continue to make you proud. I love you dad. Rest easy❤️

I met Kenny back in the ‘80’s when we felt we ruled the world and held it in our hands. No worries. Kenny had a way of making you feel in the moment. And he’d fill as many moments as he could with laughs. He had a generous heart and a kindness about him that made him memorable. When I saw him after life had handed out a few bumps and bruises to us both, he STILL had a way of lightening things up. Family meant a lot to him and I know his family loved him fiercely. May that love carry you all through this difficult time.

My best friend who has been there since day one. Still processing and may take some time, but understand this Kenny, you were love by many. Not sure of the deep rooted pain you weee feeling as I only wish I could talk with you once again to understand. However you are now free of your pain and hope you’re with Dad and Billy. I will miss our conversations that never made sense but we laughed uncontrollably., even throwing in a slap fight now and then. I know you will watch over your boy’s & grandkids. Till I see you on the other side. Love you brother

My best friend from the beginning. Still processing you being gone. Just we could have talked one more time so I could help you through your pain. Just know that you were severely loved my many and will be thought about daily. The memories will never fade as I hear your infectious laugh as we say the stupidest things and maybe even get into a slap fight. As my soul is still healing, I hope you soul has found comfort. I will always love you Kenny. See you on the other side brother.
