My prayer is that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around each of you at this most difficult time and give you the strength and peace and comfort that your hearts need at this time and for the coming days and months and weeks and years.

Kenny was one fine man. I worked with him for a while at Ritchie SES and it was a pleasure to be around him. Really laid back and hard working man. Above all he was a gentleman and caring person.
