I just lost Joe on August 1st, so I know the heartache you all are feeling. Kenny lived a long life, but like Joe the last few years their lives were limited. Each of them loved the outdoors, and good old country living and they were not able to LIVE so to speak. Now there is an awful void and dull heart ache that only time will heal. To the whole family I send my love and prayers. I dare not try to name all of you for fear of leaving someone out! LOL I am sure Margaret met Kenny at the gate and they are now at peace. God Bless you all’

My deepest sympathy go out to Kennys family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God has called a great man home. May he now rest in peace with the family and friends that have gone on before him. I can’t find enough words to describe the kind of man Kenny was. He was compassionate, caring, loving, hardworking, family first, faithful, just a Real man. He was a little shy, but who needs all those words when his actions spoke louder than words. I share some of my fondest memories ever with the Gass family growing up. I won’t be able to make the services but I sure will be there in mind and heart. All our Love, All our Lives. Bells are ringing, for we have a new Angel among us. Sincerely, Cathy and family.
