I met Kenny 4 years ago with my boyfriend, Tony Toye, and his group of hunting friends. Kenny opened up his home for us to stay with him for the 10 days we hunted the area for snow geese & ducks. I had never been to Saskatchewan before so I was very excited. I was a little nervous about being the only female in the group. However, I will never forget how welcomed I felt when I met Kenny. No one has ever made me feel more at home than he did!! I remember telling Tony that I thought he was one of the nicest men I had ever met!! He couldn't have been anymore accommodating & friendly to me if he tried. I remember the last day of my first trip there when he gave me a little pin of the Canada Flag. I treasure the pin & the memories of him giving it to me. I could tell it meant a lot to him to give it to me but it meant even more to me!! I wish now I would have spent more time with him while I was there. He took his time to tell me many of his lifetime stories. The one I remember most is when he met the Smith & Wesson family. He was so proud of it. He would tell me stories of his prize Charolais cattle, and the great times him and his wife had showing them. I was so looking forward to visiting with him this fall. I was sad because I knew it wouldn't be the same, because for the first time we wouldn't be staying with him. I have to believe that it was very hard for him to move into town away from all the memories of his wonderful farm. Kenny, I miss you very much & wish you were still here to spend more time with and listen to your wonderful stories. You were truly on of the most gracious & nicest men I have ever met. Thank you for sharing your home and memories with me, I will never forget them. Thank You for ALL the Wonderful Sweet Rolls you would order & pick up for us!! They were so good!! Miss you! Michelle

It was 2000 when our hunting group met Ken for the first time. We were out chasing geese and stopped in to ask permission but as most of you know Kenny wanted to talk! We assured him that we would come back after the hunt and if I remember right he had us change our plans and went after some Cranes or Turkeys as Ken liked to call them out in back of his farm. A lot of the group went back and the friendship started. That next summer our senior group member, Lenny, called Ken up and inquired if he knew of a place that we could stay instead of the Salty Surf in Waltrous. He immediately told Lenny that we could stay with him. I remember Lenny told him to go sit in front of the Air Conditioner for an hour and gain some senses! Ken called back and insisted that we stay with him. Who does that??? Ken Teneycke does!!! In 12 years we continued our annual trip to see Ken and visit some of the most friendly people in the world. The Hunting brought us there but the people like Kenny kept us coming back. He will be missed by many! One very fond memory of our many years there was one Sunday afternoon Ken asked us to go for a ride. We all jumped in his truck and away we went to his south property. After a short walk we came to a big rock with a trench around it, and he asked us what we thought it was. We hadn't a clue and was surprised when he told us it was a buffalo rub. We walked aprox. 100 yards and he showed us 4 or 5 Indian Teepee rings! It's stuff like that we will miss Ken so much. He always had time for everyone! Thanks for being my friend Kenny! Rest in peace, Tony Toye Wisconsin

Dear Darran, Kenna, and Dean, I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Your father was a wonderful man and a very good friend. He was kind and generous and never had a bad word to say about anyone. I always enjoyed our trips to Canada. Ken was a great host who always made us feel welcome. All of his friends south of the border will miss him. Rick Amendt
