Hi Kenny this is Smitty!, I want everyone to know what a truly down to earth person you are in the short time I had to know and work with you.
You are a credit to your family and missed by everyone who crossed paths with you. I remember the day you told me you were heading to Harbor and that huge smile of yours lit up the room. I know your memory is carried in many hearts. We need more Kenny Hansens in this world. I just retired on my lod injury when your life was cut short. I remember feeling so out of place standing off to the side in my trench coat and out of the bag, and I cried like a baby when the missing man formation passed over head. I never forget you Kenny, God Bless.

Smitty,
