A remarkable man, he is known for his unconditional love, strong work ethic, independent nature, love of flowers, love of puzzles, love of fishing, love of family and friends and his feisty good nature. Most of all he had a big heart and anyone who met him never forgot him. Kenny touched many hearts and will be missed very, very much.
