I realize this is a little late, but I wanted to send my condolences and well wishes to Kenny's family. I worked with Kenny at Drake University for a time, and I developed a good liking for him as a worker and a friend. I have good memories of that time, including the few times when things were a little slow and we went to the house and worked a little on the kitchen and back porch!
I trust he had a good impact on the lives of other people who knew him, also. I will never forget him. I share in your feeling of loss.
Please have a very Merry Christmas in his memory, only thinking of him as he was, a very funny, real, and meaningful soul.
Best wishes to all!
