My sincere condolences to the Carpenter family. My name is Joe DaSilva, a long time friend of Kenny. We date back to the fall of 1961 at Pinkham School where I first met Kenny, however, not speaking a word of English. We quickly became friends in grade one trading comic books. We continued our friendship throughout Pinkham then onto Hugh John MacDonald for grades 7 to 9 where we expanded our friendships along with Bruno, Leo and Danny playing a variety of sports. He was forever playing tricks on others using his wit and humour. After continuing onto Daniel McIntryre Collegiate, we still found time to enjoy high school life, dances, bars etc. Then in the fall of 1974, Ken’s brother Lawrence owed him a favour and we used his vehicle to go on a road trip together for two weeks to Toronto, Quebec City and Montreal. We were just two ‘hippies’ occasionally slumming overnights in the car with little money. With Kenny, there was never a dull moment. It was quite the adventure as I’m sure you can read between the lines. I continued my friendship with Kenny by inviting his family to the lake during our crazy wild on Ingolf days. And of course, the adventures continued. I will miss you my friend Ken. Rest In Peace. Joe (and Debbie) DaSilva
