Here is another contribution to the newspaper obituaries' comment section:


November 30, 2009
Kenny and Jimmy were the first friends I had when I came to live in Merced from Germany. My parents (zierenberg) have been lifelong friends with Ken and Barbara.

It was so exciting to find out that Kenny was an artist. He always had a flare. What I remember the most is his kindness to me when I couldn't speak a word of English. That will always stay in my heart. Though both boys were younger than me, I always knew they would turn into special people.

My prayers are with his family. May God Bless you and help you through this terrible time.
