I use to date Kenny many years ago. We meet at Bobs Pizza and started dating. I remember playing many video games waiting for him to close up the shop. He had a heart of gold would always buy Bob Segar tapes for me to listen to in the car of course we always listened to the Dead as well. Sorry to hear of his passing will always have a special place in my heart.

Awww...........not Spoo. I've known Kenny "Spoo" York since he was 15 years old. He was always so very funny with such a kind heart. I can't believe he's gone. Rest In Peace bud......we'll see you on the other side.

To all the York family, Kenny was one of the finest persons I ever met from the old days at Chautauqua to when he was here in VT years ago managing Sombraros (spelling) & the Dead shows in Highgate. Virgil Kane

I am so sad to hear of Ken's passing so young! My heart does out to his entire family and the multitude of friends he had. Kenny was ALWAYS so generous to Nashua's non-profits. He donated pizza so many times to the Humane Society for volunteer events and special functions. He had the BEST smile whenever I saw him / every time I went into Bob's Pizza. He worked there as a kid and then owner....keeping a Nashua tradition alive. My condolences to everyone that knew him and to all those that will miss this powerhouse of a great human being....and DOING so so many within his community. He made Nashua better by being part of it. I am sad I will never see him again......

A group of us from work would go every Friday to Bob's pizza. We got to know Ken on a first name basis. He knew our order as soon as we walked in. Would always come over and talk to us. A super nice guy. My condolences to his family and friends.

I will sorely miss the young'n I met at HAGGERTY'S FLOWER SHOP many, many years ago. I've watched you grow and now its time to let go; but the memories are here to stay.
