Stratford W Kenny, decorated WW II veteran, retired New York City police officer, and painter, is greatly loved and missed by his family and large circle of friends. Adorning the walls of many, his art exemplifies his love of life and beauty. While Strat’s remains lay in Arlington Cemetery, his spirit roams free, bringing inspiration and encouragement to those who knew him best. The illustrations in “Tinker and Company,” honor the beautiful puppy rescued, nurtured, and spoiled, who rather than succumb to parvovirus, grew and thrived. Through them, along with the stories of Tinker’s adventures, she and Strat live on.
