I’m really sorry to hear about Kenny’s passing. I worked with him a Ohio State in the same shop for a couple of years. Kenny taught me so much about plumbing and life while I was there. I still can recall the laughs and jokes we use to have in Hagerty hall about his germophibia. RIP Kenny. My condolences to his family and friends.
