I have Great Memories of Kenny as a young man. We grew up in Brooklyn, went to High School together, were in each others wedding parties. Before marriage we took a trip to Florida after we were both released from the Army and had a great time. Kenny had a broken leg and I ended up with sunburn poison so our hopes of hooking up with some beautiful girls never materialized. Many laughs, many political discussions, many beers at Squires. Sunday morning touch tackle football games at Lief Ericson Park on 65th and 5th Ave followed by a few beers at either Henry's on 69th and 5th or Squires 53rd and 5th. Drinking age then was 18 in NY and we were regulars at 17. I think we may have taken our degrees together at the Knights of Columbus Sheridan Council in Brooklyn. We went separate ways after we got married. I went to Connecticut, Melbourne Australia, back top CT, then to NJ and finally to FL. I reach out to Kenny about 10 years ago and again last year in the hope we could get together before it was too late. He was a great guy, a great friend and a great person. Sorry we were unable to connect, we would have had a blast.
So long my friend, until we meet again, Rest in Peace. Steve
