"Janice and family, So sorry to hear of Kenny's death. I always considered him as one of my original friends having started school together all the way through High School. A joy for me to have known and a loss for those who didn't. I always tried to visit him through out the years when I came back home to visit. It was a joy. This past summer, my wife and I had a Duncombe reunion for several days at our home in the mountains in Southern California. Kenny and Janice were not able to make it, but, topics always included Kenny and the good times that we had in Duncombe. As one of our mutual friends (Roy Morris) put it, "I didn't know we were making memories, I just thought we were having fun". So appropriate! Bruce Ewing Southern California "
