Kenneth was one of the most effortlessly funny people I have ever known. My earliest memories of him are in Mrs. Diggs's music class in the 8th grade at Aycock. He was a wonderful singer with a deep bass voice you wouldn't believe could come from someone so small. Kenneth was also a very sly, sneaky, but never malicious cut-up.

He would probably be surprised to see comments from me here, after all, I didn't know him well. But Kenneth made an impression on me and I remember being very saddened at his passing. It's a tragedy when the world is deprived too soon of one whose main purpose in life seems to have been making other people laugh.

A sincere R.I.P.
