Teen age was a great time for Kenny, me and the friends we had. Played music together. He was better then I was. Always was a good person. The world lost a good guy. Prayers for the family.
I met Kenny and his wife, Sandy at the Western Star, a country dance club, in 1995. We became good friends with both of us having the same interests in auto racing. Kenny is responsible for introducing me to the woman who would eventually be my wife. He was my best man at our wedding, this his broken foot in a cast he stood beside me as Angie walked down the isle. Kenny and Sandy have become very close friends. I would ask what they were doing on the weekend and Kenny would simply respond with “We are going to the lake.” After weeks of this response I finally asked about the lake and they invited both of us to join them for a weekend at a private conservation club in southwestern Indiana. Their love of fishing and being outdoors prompted them to join this club years before. A year later, Kenny and Sandy sponsored our membership. Years of great weekends and campfires at the lake with Kenny, Sandy and the entire membership have created great memories. I appreciated Kenny’s passion for his interests in fishing, making custom fishing lures, flying remote controlled airplanes, collecting fine guitars and NASCAR die cast models. Through 26 years of good and bad times Kenny and Sandy have always been supportive. Kenny will definitely be missed by all who knew him, but the memories of having him as a friend will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Kenny.
Thank you
To Sandy, I remember Kenny as a very good person and client. Wish you well, Bill Anweiler
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
