Always looked up to you, Kenny, as a mentor and role model. Will never forget you and my sister Anne for allways being there for me: supporting my decisions, encouraging me to better my life, allowing me to live with you while attending medical school when I could not afford housing, learning Christian values by your example. Though our many lengthy private conversations on the dock after my long swims you shared with me what was most important to you in life- your wife who you adored and stated to me that your life would be meaningless without and of course your three children who were the essesence of your's and my sister Anne's existence. Above all, family was your first priority in life. With all you accomplished in life you remained humble. I once told you how proud you should be of yourself and how successful you were and you stated to me that success is a measure of the character of your children and in that way, you stated yes I have achieved success, stating how proud you were of the way your children had turned out. Those words of wisdom have stayed with me to this day. I know how deeply you loved and admired my sister Anne and I learned through you and have kept with me to this day the importance of family values and what you often told me was the most valuble thing you had in life, your wife Anne and your three sons, Stephen, Christopher and Sean all of whom you adored.
