Cliche, read the article about Kenner and try to read a street / square named after him. A fitting memory for a Jewish warrior. Not only in the singers' neighborhood.
Of blessed memory
May his soul be bundled in the bundle of life
Especially if he is the last child of his family. (In the article there were no details about first degree family members... or they had already passed away before him...)
