My name is Michael Ipock son of Dennis and Geraldine and I made this page in honor of my Uncle Kenny.  He was by far one of the Best Men I have ever known.  He did great things for this country when he went to war, but he never talked about it.  He was a very kind hearted man.  He was very proud of his son Darren Cantrell.  I hope we can all be proud of one another for standing by each other during this time of sorrow. I am glad that I know Kenny was saved and look forward to seeing him again someday, standing in front of those big pearly gates of heaven.  God Rest His Soul.
