Kenny owned his own truck and was always fixing and washing it. He drove many years of his life and loved it. He was very giving and easy going. He enjoyed Florida as it was very warm. Kenny took great-grandchildren on camping trips and never complained. He was a 1960 Deposit Central School graduate.

Family was our life, and he loved family get-togethers. We will miss him a lot. Rest in peace, till we meet again.

There will be a Celebration of Life held at later date. Memorial donations may be made in Kenneth’s name to Eastern Broome Emergency Services, PO Box 434 Windsor, NY 13865.
