Kenneth Hilton: The Best Neighbor Ever

Kenny was my neighbor. He always kept an eye out on our house when we traveled. Once, he even mowed the lawn for me, with out my knowing, while we were away.

He loved Mona; thought she was just fantastic. Anytime we were out playing, he would smile a big toothy grin, wave real big, and shout, “Hi, Mona!” I’m going to miss that.

Last Christmas, Jen noticed him collecting evergreen branches. She inquired what he was doing, and found out he was creating Christmas arrangements for people. I only later realized those people were mostly elderly, and not spending Christmas with anyone.

On Saturday, Dec 17th, 2011, Kenny passed away due to a long and painful fight with cancer. The closing line from Kenny’s obituary reads, Ken always gave more than he got out of life regardless of who he was dealing with… I can think of no better description.

Rest in peace, Kenny. You will be missed dearly. This street isn’t as good with out you.
