Memories and Condolences
for Kenneth Turkin

Not sure what to say?





Kenny and I went way back. We grew up in a wonderful time in a great neighborhood with great parents and friends.My brother and Ronnie were best friends and my parents and his parents were best friends also.

Kenny was special. He had this bit of mischief in him and his sense of humor was unique.

Needless to say he will be missed greatly.I am a better person for having been a part of his life.
