My favorite memories of my brother involved his great sense of humor. One time at my Uncle Jim's pool party they had gone fishing so Bill tossed a little shark in the pool. Lol. He took me flying a lot in a 2 seater Cessna and we had a blast. Again, he thought it was funny to turn the engine off over the Great South Bay and say, "I think there are sharks in there," as he started it back up. One time flying, we followed the roads in Commack so we could fly over Uncle Jim's house and dive bomb it. No one was in his pool unfortunately but his neighbors ran like crazy into their house. Lol. Practical jokes and weird humor is a Kinney thing and Bill made us laugh a lot. I'm glad he's not suffering and is with Chris and Our Lord Jesus.
My heart breaks for your family, Mr. Kinney, had a profound impact on my young life and into adulthood. I know I’m a better man today for having met Mr. Kinney. Many of my favorite memories of childhood include Boy Scouts and Mr Kinney. I am certain I will see the big smile again one day. With all my love my God bless and keep you.
