We would like to express our deepest sorrows to Phil and Sharon and other family members of Kenneth. Kenny was a very kind and thoughtful man who will be missed by many. I have fond memories of visiting the home as a young adult and having talks with Kenny and his wonderful wife Winnie. I’m sure that he and his wife are enjoying each other’s company once again in their new home in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

I was so sorry to hear of Kenny’s passing. He worked with my father, Keith McPherson, at Gumps, Barkers and Skarl for many years and they considered themselves friends. I remember visiting with your father many times at the garages over the years. He was a kind,gentle person whom I tried to visit with whenever I came in to see my Mother, Martha Mcpherson, who was also at the home. I spent some time with Kenny, wheeling him around, and visiting with Winny, whenever I was there. Please accept by most sincere sympathy and apologies for the lateness of this communication. – Tom McPherson
