Kenny took great pride in being a devoted husband and loving father. His favorite role was that of Grandfather and he relished nothing more than being called Grampy. Kenny loved to go to and have yard sales. He loved to watch the horse races. He was a huge Toronto Maple Leaf fan and could always be seen sporting a Maple Leaf ball cap and a big smile.

Kenny worked many years for CPR Truckers and was a Steveadore (ILA).
