Oh Uncle Kenny – I sure am going to miss you. You were an awesome uncle and I have so many fond memories of my childhood times with you. I’ll always remember the scratch-offs and cow pies for our birthdays, you always picking on us "rugrats" (mostly Lisa),you dancing with the pigs head at Dad & Kathy’s pig roast and so much more. You always exhibited such enjoyment for life here on earth and I know you’ll enjoy it even more in Heaven. You’ll be forever missed and never forgotten. I love you!
