Kenneth and I have worked together and, been friends for many years. We would often chat about various topics including some of his interests: Dachshunds, old school rock and roll, sci fi movies, or the current home project he was working on. Since we both are originally from Alabama, we also enjoyed talking about our childhoods there and, our families. Kenneth felt compassion for others. He interacted positively with the individuals we serve at the hospital who suffer from serious mental illnesses. Kenneth was always, thoughtful and kind and patient with them. Kenneth was a gentle giant (standing over 6 feet tall). He was an intelligent, witty, kind person who will be missed by many. Sincere condolences to his family. Anne Downing
