`Kenny…a man of patience and kindness; a man who would defend anyone, great or small.  A father who loved his wife and children.  A man who surrounded himself with music and good friends.  A man who welcomed everyone into his home as if they had always belonged.  A man who rallied for his home teams, the Browns and the Indians and wore his jerseys proudly. A fair minded man whose spirit of simplicity and grace will forever be held deeply in our hearts.
