Kenny will be severely missed by the many people he taught, coached, and officiated with.

Kenny was one of those rare individuals who gave more back to the game than it gave to him. I attended his Can-Am camp in Spokane many years ago and got to know him better while observing together at some other camps. He also came to one of our association meetings a few years ago and gave our entire group a 2-hour mini-clinic. He always had a smile on his face and was willing to help anyone at anytime.
