I remember Kenneth from some classes and NBHS Male Chorus. He was a good friend to all who knew him. He had a lot of Musical talent. Rest in Peace Ken.
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Kenny. He played trumpet in my uncles' band. If I'm not mistaken, his father also played in my uncles' bank, as well. He was a great person and I enjoyed being friends with him, way back when. May his soul rest in peace.
