Dad came to visit us with Pat when we first moved into our home in Maryland. He was quiet and kind and Pat was her usual energetic self. His gentleness lives on in Ken and Mary and the kids.

Uncle Kenny always had a devilish enthusiastic smile. He would share a story or a few and his wit and laugh was infectious. At any gathering we’d always share a laugh and i enjoyed him greatly. I loved when he came to see Grace play hockey and boy did he ever have me laughing. A good brother and uncle as I knew him and he will be missed.
