We set bowling pins together at Cascade Bowling Alley. We fished together for a number of years. We ate chili together at Olies. And he will be deeply missed. May his memory be a blessed ng to you as they are to me.

I loved my Uncle Kenny. He was so full of life and passion, a man who truly appreciated his life. He will be greatly missed! May his memory be for a blessing. The first rabbi at Uncle Kenny’s memorial said it best. “He was a good man!”

On March 21, 1998, Judge Cohen performed my marriage to my late husband at the Barn of Barrington. He was wonderful, joyful, and thoughtful. May his memory be a blessing
