From a troubled youth in a reform school to an underworld crime figure in Chicago, Kenny was able to keep a low profile and elude justice many times. It was only on a few occasions the indictments stuck and Kenny was convicted and sentenced to prison.

Living with a constant thought that everyday maybe his last one alive or free had created its own kind of prison. For a period in time he not only had bodyguards when he went out, they were in the house with him 24 hours a day.

Trying to hide who he was became a full time job. " I was never free, until I came to the truth and the truth set me free,  what you hide holds you in darkness". 

Kenny has addressed "At Risk Youth" issues throughout the years. In 2014 he founded a veterans organization, The Patriot Project USA a national 501 (c) (3) charity that raises awareness for mental health issues.

For 36 years we have remained more like family than friends , I've gotten the calls that he`s in the hospital after being shot and I've been in the court room for trials and sentencing hearings.

We are very different people and have lived completely different lives.

I guess I would have to say, the joys have outweighed the sorrows.  We remain friends.
