Cindy sorry to hear about the passing of your dad.
Kenny was a really great person I had the pleasure to know. He treated me like a son and was always kind and took interest in helping me learn about his hobby.
I remember the hours Kenny and I would spend down in the basement building guns, making ammo etc. I was blessed to have known him and your mom.

In loving memory of a wonderful person we will love you and miss you always. I’ve always called you grandpa since I was little girl. You wasn’t my actual Grandpa but you took me right in with your granddaughters. We was your triplets growing up. Literally since our birthdays are 12 days apart. Thanks for all the time you let me come over after school to hangout and tell us stories and eat snacks at the kitchen table. Then take me home so I didn’t have to ride the school bus. I’ll never forget when Sarah an Lydia would come stay at my house on New Years Eve and we would call you at midnight and leave a crazy voicemails bc we knew you was already asleep. Thanks for being at my special day as I walked down the aisle on my wedding day. R.I.P Grandpa until we meet again.
