To Kenny’s Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Ken’s passing. He was always a good friend to me and it was an honor and pleasure to go through school and grow up in the company of this good and just man. Please know Kenneth and all who knew and loved him will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.
Sincerely, Peter
To Kenny’s Family,
Kenny and I grew up together in the 2nd Ward, attended School #2, Fitzhugh Park Junior High and graduated from the “old” High School on West First Street in 1965 . It all seems like it all was just yesterday, but sadly sixty-five years have slipped by and now my long-time friend is continuing on without me. I’m going to miss not having breakfast with him when I make my rare visits to Oswego . I’m sure that Danielle and Annie and the rest of his extended family will miss him even more. You have my sincere condolences.
Ken Stacy
