RIP Kenn

Post by rickenbrother »

I hate to be the bearer of sad news, but I though the long time RRF member would want to know that Kenn Pierog has passed away.
I know he was in the hospital about a month ago, but I never found out why. Then he stopped posting on Facebook for the past few weeks.
He wife announced it today. Kenn was good guy. Rock in paradise, Kenn.
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Kenn Pierog's posts spanned a decade from 2005 to 2015. I did not know he was ill. I was impressed that his musicianship covered a wide range of genres. Music just became more diverse in Heaven. I offer my condolences to his family and friends. "Desertgoldenboy" will be missed.

RIP, Kenn. I'd only met him during MARF, the 1st, in Va.

Kenn was a great friend to Chris Clayton and I at Pic of the Rics. He would come in and talk for hours. Just a great friendly fun loving guy with a great sense of humor, a true gentleman! He was a very talented musician and played on records with Earthrise, I have one of his guitar picks somewhere. R.I.P. good brother you will be missed!
