kenny was a wonderful guy and will be greatly missed. He was always smiling and joking and playing around. I remember when Paige was a baby and they would come swimming. He was scared to get her wet. He was taken before his time ended and we will miss him##imported-begin##Stephanie Goff##imported-end##
