To Larry and the kids, I’m so sorry for the loss of your Father and Grandfather. He was a Canadian patriot who served his country for 40 years and for that we are all grateful. To Kenny, you’ll be gone from our sight but never from our hearts. On you go soldier, thanks for the visit. “Soraidh Coinneach Iain”.

Relation: He was a childhood friend.
Jack and I send our most sincere condolences to Kenny’s family. Kenny and Jack were childhood friends and as young fellows went to a PEI farm to thin turnips and pick potatoes. We so enjoyed his Cape Breton reunion nights as they were an opportunity to reconnect with Kenny and so many people we had not seen in awhile. Kenny and Jack had a military connection and were both hard working people but also knew how to have a good time. Kenny will be missed. Jack and Diane Campbell, Big Bras d’Or, NS
