He said, "We had many areas of interest. He really contributed to local research. He wasn't one of those persons who just talked, but he went out there in the field, did the research and produced the information. And he has left us with a wealth of information in local biology and local environmental conditions that we should be very grateful for."
Rowley added, "We have lost a real stalwart in the field of earth sciences. He wasn't content to be just a professor teaching." He noted that Kenny was "forever gathering new information."
The opposition leader said Kenny's photography and writings have "forever educated us in the areas of life sciences. There is a lot of work available on local species both plant and animal which has to do with the pioneering work he did."
