Dear Demarco Family:

I know you do not know me but I worked for Kenny when he had a car lot on Pocasset Avenue in 1971. I was 20 years old. I will never forget his big smile. Kenny was only 28. One time he came to work, got on the phone and did not like the person on the other end of the line because they were trying to mess Kenny around in business. The minute Kenny got off the phone he would sing real loud "Backstabbers" by the O'Jays. I moved to Texas in 1973 and have been here since. Over the years when I visit RI, I would run into Kenny a few times at Twin Oaks. We would laugh and surprised that I remembered. I loved him!
