"I have known Kenn for many, many years (maybe 40 years). He was always kind with many stories to tell. I know it was so difficult for Kenn when C.A. passed. I lost a partner in a similar way in 2002. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to recover when you, yourself are unwell. Kenn had many friends and we all will miss him. Thank you to all who have helped Kenn and special thanks to Brad Polo. John and I will see many of you this Friday at the gathering at Leppert."
In loving memory of
Kenn Eugene Williams
