Comments To the Family and Friends of Kenny! " Rob and I are so sad to know that Kenny is no longer here with us. As members of The American Legion Post 119, we often had the opportunity to visit with Kenny and even though we had recently moved, we knew that we would see Kenny again. Life shows us that we must take the opportunity to let those in our lives know how very much they mean to us. We can expect to see them next week or next month or even next year - but sadly we don't know that for sure. We shall fondly remember Kenny - for the July 4th parties we had - for the poker games played - for the friendship and laughter shared. We shall see Kenny again. That knowledge comforts us and allows us to continue. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine upon you, while we are absent, one from the other. Sincerely, Rob and Mary Metke Rob and Mary Metke - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM I'm so sorry to hear about your father passing.
