Kenny was a long time cherished friend and co worker at Shell oil company. A cherished Shell deer park family member. So many laughs over the years. My older cherished friend Jim Waggoner who died a couple of years ago. Was extremely fond of Kenny and his wife. He would have taken his passing hard. Kenny touched a lot of friends over the years. Prayers for the family
