Dear Betty , Sympathy to
you and your family from an "old" friend from Adair. Have not seen you and Kenny for years, but many memories flowed when I saw that Kenny had passed away. We had many fun times when you two lived in Adair, and those memories will never be forgotten. Thinking of you and your family and sending love and hugs.

So sorry to hear of your loss. All our loss actually. He was a very good man. I worked with Kenny for many years at CDS and he was ALWAYS kind, respectful, and helpful to everyone. His kind is few and far between these days. It is a great loss and my heart is with the family in this time.

For the past 19 and a half years, we've been blessed to be able to call Kenny our neighbor and friend. A friendship that started on a snowy day in December and will continue in our hearts forever. We will always cherish the memories that made us feel just like a part of your family. Words cant describe what an incredible man he was. He will be truly missed.
