My deepest sympathy to his family. I am personally having a very hard time believing he is gone. My family and I were looking forward to visiting him this summer. I am so glad I stopped by to see him when I was in Chicago in February. He was a good neighbor and friend. When my son, Peter heard the news he took it very hard. The day after he heard the news he went to his friends house to play and when I asked him if he had a good time he told me he just didn't have the energy to play because he kept thinking of Kenny. When we moved to Germany he was sorely missed, but we knew he would be there when we went to visit or moved back. The news of his death has shocked and saddened us. Kenny you will always be in our thoughts.

With loving memories,

The Stafilas Family

There are many memories of this man that I will carry with me. Him taking me to the Cubs game when I was little, slipping me a $20. everytime I saw him, even this past Christmas when we shared dinner at my new home, sitting with him at Thanksgiving dinners at Uncle Hugh's, having heated conversations about anything...but the memory I will carry most proudly is knowing that he loved his family more than anything else in the world, and he would do anything for any of us at anytime if he was capable. I am honored to have been his niece and to have been as close to him as I was. I'll miss you Uncle Kenny...until we meet again.
