Our good friend Matt Kennedy, the son of the recently deceased former Mayor Dennis Kennedy, stopped by Morgan Hill Life’s downtown office recently to say there is a slight change in where donations honoring his father should go. Matt has been working with the local aquatic foundation to set up a special memorial fund for people to send checks in support of helping children and youth learn swimming skills and water safety.

If you’re interested in helping out by writing a check, put on the memo “Dennis Kennedy Memorial Fund” and mail it to Morgan Hill Aquatic Foundation, P.O. Box 1894, Morgan Hill, CA, 95038.

He also appreciates the warm wishes he and his family have received from the community.

“It’s been great getting the outpouring of love for my dad and people checking on me,” he said. “My dad would be very happy with all of the support.”

Dennis’s funeral was held at St. Catherine’s Church in Morgan Hill at 10 a.m. Saturday April 30. The community will miss a great guy.
