From my family we send our condolences.
Dan was a wonderful person and I have many childhood and adult memories of him. I always enjoyed stopping by around the holidays for a family visit. He not only raised a wonderful family, but he took care of so many people in the community. He was loved and respected by so many people and he will be missed.

I remember when I cut the corner of my finger off and asked Doc to do the first bandage removal and cleaning. When he started working on it I was kinda yelling at him. He said that was the only reason I wanted him to do it and we laughed through the rest of the cleaning. What a Great Happy Doctor he was. Hugs to all

Our sincere sympathy to the entire Kenny family in the passing of Dr. Dan. We have fond memories of him, and what a nice visit I had with him just a couple weeks ago. We talked about the times we went to the Indians game, especially the time Chad got sick and we had to stop a couple times as he got sick. Also when he was born Dr. Dan saved his life as the cord was wrapped around his neck. Our prayers are with all of you.
Mark Ebbeskotte - Jun 16, 2018
