    Rita and family, I was very sorry to hear about Kenny's passing. I have fond memories of the time he and I got to spend together. I am sorry that I did not get more time to visit with him in these last few years, but health issues and their consequences make socializing efforts difficult. Kenny was a good man and I know he is in a better place with our Lord now. My prayers are with you. God Bless, Harold Turner
