    Growing up as a child with Kenny was fun, we always got into trouble from hanging out at school to climbing trees to taking Christmas lights, Playing with the neighborhood kids Kenny was always a joker and full of life. This loss will be felt by everyone who knew him. He will be missed.

    I am having such a difficult time.

    Kenny was a caring compassionate man, who would give the shirt off his back to help anyone. He worked for Air Canada for 18 years. As a child he excelled at all sports, playing on representative teams in Brampton ontario, Soccer, Hockey and Baseball. Kenny did well in school.

    He had a smile that would light up a room and a boisterous laugh… In the end he was a “Big man with a Bigger Heart”, and he will be missed by his family and friends.

    Kenny I reunited in Heaven with his sister Karen in Heaven who predeceased him.
    In the end, he succumbed to his addiction to Alcohol while in Rehab in Toronto.
    Rest in Peace my beautiful son, until we meet again.
