Kenny was one of a kind. He was a thoughtful jock, what a combination. I always loved getting his take on things. His comments would crack you up, then himself. 
My wife and I visited Kenny and Leslee on their Chesapeake acreage in 2017. It was great to see them after 35 years and he just reveled in their new "eastern" way of life. Boy, it couldn't have been more different from growing up in Tarzana.
Kenny's dislike of technology made it a bit difficult to keep up with him. But I've had nagging thoughts that I should get in touch with him in the last few weeks and now this announcement. Time is not our friend, anymore. Farewell to a really good guy.

Very sad to hear of my friend's passing. Just a great team mate and a person who always had a kind word. This last chapter is not well written.

Thank you, Steve, for your very nice letter about Mike.. It was great hearing from you again. I hope all is well with you and yours. All my best, Pat

I think my first memory of the Hallinans was carving a "T" on Chalk Hill the summer before Taft opened.  Mike was a fun loving character.  I came walking into my bedroom one day and he jumped out of my own bed to scare me.  It was always fun to go to the Hallinans house.  We played ball and horsed around - talked about girls and joked with each other.  In other words, priceless times.  We were on the track team together, but he was the runner and I was the imposter.  He was incredibly fast and a delight to watch.  I will always keep the memory of him striding gracefully around the oval in my mind.

My condolences, Pat, to you and Mike's family and my best wishes to all.
