Dear Vicki and Stuart,
We were so heart broken to hear of the passing of your beloved father.
Kenny was always so much fun to spend time with. He was always telling us jokes or singing a song. Oh how he loved Willie Nelson.
We are so happy he was able to have spent some time with us in our Florida home.
He always spoke lovingly of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. You all brought him so much joy. He definitely left a mark on our hearts.
May his memory be a blessing.
Sending you our love,
Eddie and Gayle
