In this time of sorrow, you have my understanding of losing a loved one. I am sure my father, Don (his brother) met uncle Kenny at Heavens gate.My prayers are being sent to the family as they cope with this heavy burden. Uncle Kenny was always a big part of my childhood. I will always remember his laugh and that thick head of wavy hair!He is now home and at eternal peace. He will be missed by family and many friends. He was well known in Rock Island. Navy salute Uncle!!!!

Kenny was a good friend to my Dad and my Mom. When my father passed away in 2006 Kenny called my Mom on a regular basis to make sure she was okay, something she appreciated and enjoyed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kenny's friends and family. May God Bless you all.
