It saddens me to hear of Kenneth’s passing. During his high school years, he spent a great deal of time at our house. He and my brother Ron were good friends. I have several really funny stories about some of their escapades. He would go by my parents’ house after we were grown just to check in with them. I will offer prayers of comfort for the family he left behind.
Thank you so much. I will announce a memorial at a later date. Hope to see you there.
Kenneth & I shared many great memories together growing up on Donnell St in West Orange. Across the street from his house was a yard we called “The Lot”. We spent many hours there playing baseball & football with the other kids in our neighborhood. When not occupied playing sports we built camps, many out of cardboard boxes we would drag from an appliance store a few blocks away on MacArthur Drive. We built the camps using them for forts and whatnot often spending the night in them. I think we built them at just about everyone’s home at one time or another.
The woods on the other side of MacArthur Drive was another place for our adventures. We hunted, fished, and camped over there sometimes. They were great years! My prayers and condolences for Heather and the rest of his family. I know you will miss him.
