Three of Deputy Kenny's Grandchildren wrote this Poem "In Loving Memory" and read it at the Funeral Service:

"GRANDPA"

 HE WAS A MAN WHO LOVED US FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEART

WE NEVER DREAMED SO SOON THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PART

DEATH CAME KNOCKING ON HIS FRONT DOOR

HE COULD HAVE HAD SO MUCH IN LIFE BUT HE NEVER WANTED MORE

 

HE LOVED US ALL EACH AND EVERY DAY

HE LOVED US NO MATTER WHAT OUR ODD WAY

HIS ARMS OPENED UP AND HIS LOVE SPREAD WIDE

HE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO STAND BY OUR SIDE

 

THINK OF HOW HE MADE YOU LAUGH AND HOW HE MADE YOU SMILE

THINK OF HOW HE WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE

THINK OF HIM WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DREAM

REMEMBERING HE IS STILL ON OUR SIDE AND ON OUR TEAM

 

PLEASE DON'T BE SAD, WIPE AWAY THOSE TEARS

THINK OF HOW HAPPY HE MADE US ALL THROUGH THE YEARS

PRAY TO HIM RIGHT NOW AND KNOW THAT HE CAN HEAR

FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU KNOW THAT HE WILL ALWAYS BE SO NEAR

 

AS TIME GOES ON AND WE WATCH THE DAYS PASS

OUR LOVE FOR HIM WILL ALWAYS LAST

SO NOW WE SAY GOOD-BYE TO A MAN THAT MEANT SO MUCH

BUT WE'LL NEVER FORGET HOW OUR LIVES HE COULD ALWAYS TOUCH
