We’ll miss your smile;
the smile that lit up a room even in your last days.
We’ll miss your jokes;
even though they often weren’t funny.

We’ll miss your cheese omelets;
and how you made breakfast a special occasion.
We’ll miss you on the slopes,
skiing in your bathing suit,
never missing the opportunity for a good laugh.

We’ll miss you at the beach,
digging epic holes ensuring ours was always the biggest.

We’ll remember your generosity;
you took the blessings you were given and shared them with others.
We’ll remember how hard you worked;
you sacrificed everything to build us a beautiful home and give us the best lives possible.
We’ll remember your undying love for family.
Family always came first, above everything.
We’ll make you proud…
We’ll always give back and share our blessings with others.
We’ll take the lessons you taught us and do our best to make a positive impact.

We’ll face life with the same smiling face you did.
Inspiring others with humble positivity.
We won’t take ourselves too seriously and we’ll make a few bad jokes in your honor.
We’ll live each day with you in our hearts.
We’ll make you proud, Dad.

My heart aches for these two glorious, intelligent, and lovely human beings.
Hi Cheryl, Beautiful and funny! That's probably the way Kenny would want them to remember him. My kids were amazing and so full of strength, like there Dad. Your kids appear to be the same way . . . Much prayer is sent your way, Sandy"O)
Beautiful Alexandra and Graham.
That is what a Dad lives for!
I am sorry that you did not have your dad longer, but you sure had him well!
Cheryl -
Alexandra and Graham, what a lovely tribute to your Father. Surely the foundation he left is evident in our eloquent and gracious ways with words straight from the heart.
I know that Kenny is shining down on your bright sparkly selves...and Cheryl, that includes you.

Hello Cheryl:
What a movingly simple and inspiring tribute to a father from obviously two intelligent, funny and generous children of whom both you and Kenny, we are certain, are very proud indeed. To want to follow in their father's footsteps is the greatest honour they can give. May you all find strength in each other's love.
What beautiful children; I know you will comfort one another well and with many happy memories. You are in my prayers.
Dearest,
Is this your husband????? YOUR SON????? I am so sorry....what a beautiful man, father and human BEING!
Thank you for your encouraging words...Anita
While my heart is breaking wide for you, I cannot help but see the beauty of your husband in the soul's of your children. You have been blessed even while you endure your loss. Your sharing of your pain and your bounty seen in your childrens' love, make us all, your readers, better people with bigger hearts...
