I just found out about Kenny today and it took my breath away. We had some great times camping in the Adirondacks together. No one could tell a story around the fire like Gil could. He would have us all rolling with laughter until we were crying. He will remain in our prayers along with his family. Love and prayers.
Michele, Tommy and the entire family, I am truly sorry for your loss!
may,,,the woods be with you!
