    My dad, Bob Kenny, called me today and told me of the passing of his high school buddy, Roy. Roy was a special friend to us also. It was 35 years ago when Edna and Roy, my parents (Evelyn and Bob Kenny) and Mary and I went on a cruise together.. Totally unplanned, at first, since this was a "honeymoon" cruise for us. Sharing this special cruise together fills our every anniversary with smiles and laughs of the great time that we all had. And the occasional visit, either in Pgh or Austin, with Roy was always memorable. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family. Rick & Mary Kenny, Phoenix, AZ

    Condolences to Ginny, Cathy and Patti. I have fond memories of visiting with you all as a child. Because of the cold I won't be able to get my Mom there. Please accept our deepest sympathies. Sue Voye Trebilcock
