We were sorry to hear about Kenny’s passing. We haven’t seen him since we moved to Idaho, but we rember the old days when we had a lot of fun with him. Our thoughts and prayers with the family. GOD BLESS
So very sad. Gone too soon. My memories of Kenny are mostly when we were kids. He and Jim were best buds. Kenny would always let me ride his motorcycle knowing it was too powerful for me and knowing I would probably put it down, but never the less, he always let me ride it. He had an infectious laugh I’ll never forget.
My sincere condolences to everyone. I know this is such a very sad time. My prayers are with the entire family.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Kenny, have not seen him in years, but remember so well, he and his sister riding the bus, he was always a nice polite boy. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

The Ralph Bell family would like to honor you here in Franklin, North Carolina and will be making a donation to a scholarship program that we support. My dad, Ralph Bell, sends the best to the family and he said, ” I know that Jim Cagle will take this loss so hard. I remember you dear friend.” Please see that Jim gets this message.
