Sending sincere sympathies out to the Holeva Family on the passing of Kenny. May you find as much comfort in this passage from the “Little Prince” as I always have on the passing of a loved one.
In one of the stars I shall be living
In one of them I shall be laughing
And so it shall be as if all the stars were laughing
When You look in the sky at night

This comes as a shock. I know he was ill but he always bounced back. He will rest in peace and continue to watch over his family. I worked with Ken at Crawford Central and we became very good friends. Before I got married Ken would be my handyman. He would come to fix my furnace when I had no heat. He was a wonderful person a good friend but mostly he was a man of his word. If Kenny said he was going to do something he did it. He will be missed by so many but we will have our memories to comfort us. Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace.
My heartfelt sympathy for your loss of Ken. I too worked for Crawford Central School District and Ken was always pleasant with a smile on his face. Holly Losee
