Kenny and I met when he started attending Public School rather than Catholic School way back in 1957 at Shenandoah Jr. High.
We became friends when he showed up at my at house one Saturday morning and asked me I wanted to go to a fair at his old Catholic school and the rest is history. That became the beginning of a over 60 year friendship.
We did everything together, we boated together, snorkeled together and doubled dated together, he called my Dad Dadeo Markham and I called his Dad Dadeo JP, we spent many happy and wonderful times together over the years. we talked about raising our kids together and growing old together, at this point I don't know when all that changed.
I guess as things happen we drifted apart and never retained that closeness we once had back in our youth. One thing I do know, is I have never again experienced that close of a friendship with anyone again.
Rest in peace my friend you will be missed greatly.
