I did not know Kenny but attended Lehigh University with Leon. I wanted to send a note to the family to let you know that Kenny, your family and all of the victims of 9/11 are in the thoughts and prayers of many people like me who you may not even know. Your family has made a positive impression on me through Leon and so on behalf of my family, I just wanted to say God Bless and let you know our hearts are also heavy as another year passes marking the loss sustained by your family and others.

Thinking of Kenneth today and remembering what a joy he was to teach.

I miss you Kenny...you are forever in my heart. You were not just a cousin, but like a big brother.

Love you...Dani

I work in Wall St information technology and I met Kenny when he was a Wall St technology recruiter. Kenny and I spent lots of time on the phone discussing business and life and after some time we met in person, having lunch at Il Mattone on Greenwich St. He was a a great guy and a real sweetheart. I still think of him fondly with great sadness in my heart. I will never forget him. As we reflect on the 10th anniversary of the attacks I just want to let his family know what a beautiful person he was. But I know that they already know that. He will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. God Bless you Kenny. I miss you..

Kenny,
May you rest in peace. I think of you often.

I remember Kenny as a fine young man who lived on 42nd street between Parkside and Viola streets. His mother, Elsie, did a great job raising him and his brother to be respectful, loving, and caring young men. You are in my thoughts today. R.I.P., Kenny.

I think about Kenny often. He was a very sweet spirit. Every time he would see me he would give me a hug and a kiss in which I would get lost because he was twice my height. He would say, "What's up, Aunt Cindy?" Then he'd crack a joke, and he would fill me in on what was current in his world. Then he would say, "Where's Uncle Paul?" I was about to say that he missed his calling because he was so funny; I was always in tears with laughter when he was around, especially the way he and his brother Leon would crack on their uncle Paul. But I won't say he missed his calling because he brought joy to every soul he met, so he fulfilled his calling. Kenny, you are missed.

I googled the list of 9-11 victims and on the given list. I'm an Iranian, and I'm ashamed of Ahmadinejad's speech about all of you heroes. I chose your name randomly. Be in calm forever, my unseen friend.

Kenny,

I miss you, baby. I still love you after all these years. You are a shining star forever in my heart. I cry to think of what happened to you, and I miss your cheerful voice, our lunches out on the dock, and our phone calls.

Kenny,

I remember you from 56th St. and you watching me and my cousin Brandon grow up. You were always cracking jokes and so kind to all of us. I remember being younger and always having to look up to you due to the fact that you were so tall.... It's always the good ones like you who get taken away from us way too soon. But you have touched, and continue to touch, many of our lives. I'm truly saddened by your loss, but best believe you will never be forgotten.... We miss you greatly, Kenny!  ;-)

I just searched for Kenny on Facebook, hoping to reconnect with the dear friend I had at Hofstra. I was so saddened to learn of his passing. Kenny was wonderful to me and a great, great friend. He knew always how to make me feel better and would have done anything for his friends. He was such a wonderful person.... The world is less without him in it. My best to his family and friends.

I knew Kenny while we both attended Hofstra University. He was a wonderful friend and a lovely person. Even though we did not keep in touch, I still thought about him with a smile. I just found out he was a victim of the 9/11 attacks, and I can't tell you how much my heart breaks for his family.

Kenny Caldwell is (not was) my older brother! I just happened to stumble upon this site today, thinking of my brother. There are two many stories and words to describe my brother and the wonderful person he is. If you are wondering why I refer to him in the present tense and not the past, it's because I believe my brother is still here with us. He is still present in my everyday life, along with my family. When I can't sleep at night, which is often, I call on my brother to come sit on the side of my bed to comfort me. At times I can feel him sitting down not saying a word; just his presence is enough to allow me to relax and fall asleep. When I see or speak to my 3-year-old nephew Khalil, I feel and see the spirit of his uncle Kenny in him. And when I call my niece Kendi's name, and she smiles, it's like calling my big brother with that beautiful smile. Ken-ball, as he was often called, has a very powerful place in the hearts of his family and many, many friends. Kenny will always to be missed but never forgotten because he is one of God's special angels who stands on the right and left side, behind and in front of us to guide and protect us every day and all day! Everything I do in my life today is to make my brother happy.

Always KC&KC,
Keisha

I grew up at 55th and Thompson Sts area. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting this young man, I feel as though I know him. I'm 52 years old, and would like to know more about his life. I'm curious as to whom his parents might be. I've often passed this memorial painting on my way to visit family members or friends from the old neighborhood. If at all possible, could you send me some information on this young man. I think I've met him before, but am not sure. Thanks.

Kenny coached my basketball team when I was 14 too. He was so kind and sweet and had the biggest hands I'd ever seen. He was the first person I'd ever seen palm a basketball and would make tears come down our cheeks when he'd put his hands on our heads to palm them. He was patient and kind and so funny and he will be terribly missed.

Kenny Caldwell was a fine individual his whole life, although my experience with him started at age 14.  He was funny, he was sincere, he was honest, and he was humble.  I remember the speech he made about me after I won MVP of a JV basketball team I wasn't even on.  I was on the varsity but stayed after varsity practice to practice with the JV because they only had 9 players - the reason I stayed was because two of my best friends were on JV, one of them was Kenny.  I later had the opportunity to coach Kenny on a summer league team prior to his senior year (I had just graduated).  He had practiced so much that spring and summer he was much better than anyone else in the league.  But my fondest memory of Kenny was driving up to Lehigh University together to visit his brother Leon who was a freshman.  We spent 2.5 hours in the car getting there only to have Leon say "What's up?" and turn around and leave because he had someplace to go.  Me and Kenny shrugged our shoulders, climbed back into the car and headed back to Philly.  I don't remember what we talked about, but I'm sure we laughed a lot during that trip. I miss you, Kenny!
