A year later, he came out of retirement to join his wife Lisa at Happy Day Cafe in Leechburg, where he was her best friend, right-hand-man, holiday decorator and the love of her life.  He will be deeply missed. Kenny enjoyed going to and watching the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. He also loved being in command of the remote control to watch his favorite old classic TV shows, along with listening to the oldies, especially the music of the fifties.
