View all 7 Reflections8-31-13 will be the 37th anniversary of Kenny's tragic death. As a friend and honored partner of Kenny, I think of him often and will always cerish his friendship and the memories of our on and off duty relationship. May God rest Kenny's soul always and may his murderer rot in hell. That coward deprived a true hero of the opportunity to enjoy the joys of his daughter, which Kenny never had the chance to experience.
