Gina and Nina,
Kenny was a kind and wonderful man. We are sorry for your loss and sending our love and prayers.
Cousin~ My life has changed forever! You will be dearly missed every single day!
Ken Berresheim, Vice Chairman for the South County Advisory Board for Enterprise Bank & Trust. Ken was a Legend on The Hill. Ken was a business advisor, confidant, go-to-person to get something done and a friend to a large network of close friends. He supported his friends and family unwaveringly.
I was able to get to know Ken well through the Eagle / Enterprise merger. I appreciated his instant support and friendship. He had my team’s back, which I appreciated. I’ll miss his jabs about “buying lunch”.
I’m very grateful for the lessons he taught me. I’m a better person by being friends with him.
Gina and Nina – I am so very sorry for your loss. Ken was an outstanding businessman, husband, father and friend to so many. What a legacy. I will miss his sharp intelligence and incredible sense of humor. Ken was one of a kind, for sure. I am absolutely blessed our paths crossed. My thoughts and prayers.
Ken, Your memory will live forever with me. Your wit, intelligence and kind heart made you a model for all men. May you rest in peace in the kingdom of Heaven.
“God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best”
~Rest in peace, you will be missed~
So sad. His ever present smile will be missed.
From the good ole’ days at Augustinian Academy and beyond always enjoyed your smile and friendship. Had so many laughs over the years! You will be missed my friend.
God Bless,
Mike, Lenore and Family
Ken knew no strangers, he made you feel like a life-long friend from the moment you met him. He is irreplaceable and will be in our hearts forever.
Condolences to the family! My brother Mark Scheetz went to Augustinian with Kenny and we all hung out together. So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. Mi
Gina & Nina ~ I still cannot find the words to express how sorry I am. Ken was always so funny and always up for good scoop! We will all miss him terribly and please know that Natalie, Abbey and I are all praying that you find peace and comfort, while remembering what a great husband and father he was to you both!
Rest in peace Ken.
Rest In Peace, Kenny. You will be missed by many.
Gina and Nina, my deepest condolences. I will certainly pray for God’s strength for you and the entire family. I will miss Kenny’s phone calls about “what the **** is going on at Walmart?” I will miss his calls to ask me who his new buyer is. I will miss his laughter. I will treasure the breakfast we all had my family and yours up in the hill. My son Max still talks about Nina and how she “bothered” him that morning. I’m heartbroken for you and Nina. I certainly will miss my friend….Live to you both, Kevin, Linda, Max, Tyler and Emma (our granddaughter) Sanderlin

Gina & Nina, We were shocked and saddened to hear of Kenny’s passing. Kenny was one of Johns best buddies. Kenny was always full of laughs and smiles and there will be a huge whole left. Blessings and love to you both.
It’s amazing how far back the memories last for those who have had an imprint on our lives. I met Kenny in my teens through mutual friends. I saw him again, after 30+ years, at at a local hang out, and it was like catching up w an old friend. He was always gracious and kind.
Your life has reached far greater than you know.
Gina and Nina,
There are no words to express how sorry we are, you are in our thoughts and prayers. He was always a happy guy and a friend to many. Earl and I will miss his stories and his drive bye’s. Please know we are here for you.
I have known Kenny all of my life. I have never seen him without a smile on his face. He was a kind and generous person who will be sorely missed. Rest easy my friend.
We all make our mark on this world … one way or another! Kenny made his mark his way, a kind and generous person who did not know a stranger. It’s always been said that a person is not remembered by what they say but how they made you feel. Kenny always made you feel good and happy to have him as your friend!
Our deepest sympathy to Gina, Nina, and all the Torrisi family.
Love,
Mike and Jo
Nina and Gina,
We are so sorry for your loss! Kenny really never met a stranger. His kindness (and smile) will never be forgotten! I felt blessed to count him as a friend these many years.
Love and prayers,
Gina and Nina,
Our hearts go out to you both. Kenny was an outstanding man and nephew. You two will always be in our prayers
Ken you are a permanent image in my head and in my heart. One of the most kind people with a real heart that I have ever met. As my grandfather used to say “he was a True Character” and know for sure there was only one Ken!
Gina and Nina,
We are so sorry for your loss. Kenny was an outstanding man & nephew. You and Nina are in our prayers.
Gina & Nina,
I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to make it better. You and Nina will be in my prayers.
My sincere condolences to the families. Prayers are lifted up. Rest in peace dear 1968 classmate.
Gina and Nina:
Please accept my sincere condolence on Kenny’s passing. I’m still in shock. He made every one of his friends feel like his best friend. He loved all of us. Ask him a favor you got a one-word answer “Done”. He will live on in my heart until I see him again!
Gina and Nina, there are no words to say how sorry we are about Kenny. His laugh was contagious , he would say something funny , we all laughed but he laughed harder. He was such a kind , caring, loving man. Our trip to see the Pope, how kind to include Ed and I. He made us feel like we were part the family♥️ We will remember his smile, and laugh. You are all in our prayers, love you all. Ed , Kare and family
RIP Kenny: Fellow classmate 1968 Leo S.

Gina & Nina- there are no words!
My heart is heavy. Kenny and I became so close after Marvin died, he was like a brother to me, he was just always there for me and I felt honored and blessed to be his friend. I felt special that he would actually confide in me sometimes. I’m so sorry for your loss you’re in my thoughts and prayers and may his memory be a blessing. His smile and laugh we’re so contagious, and I’m just going to think of him that way. RIP Kenny
Gina and Nina

Gina and Nina, so heart broken for your immense loss. Kenny was a gem, so kind and generous to everyone he met. You will remain in my loving prayers and heartfelt thoughts, and hoping you can find some peace in your beautiful memories. XOXO
Sunday, December 27, 2020. The last time I saw Kenny I was with Joey B. and Kenny at a warehouse to pick up Kenny’s 90s Lexus for maintenance. Just an ordinary day for two extraordinary friends who let me go along for the ride. This wasn’t our first Sunday errand together, but we didn’t know it was to be our last. As was Kenny and Joe’s custom, we went to White Castle near the warehouse and sat in the car with a bag of sliders and fries, talking and laughing. Only Kenny could make an ordinary errand into a couple hours filled with laughter, stories, and teasing. I look back on that day, and on Fridays at Milo’s with a heavy heart, but also gratitude. Kenny, you made my day every time I saw you. I miss your joy, humor, wit, and generosity. Gina and Nina, my sincere condolences. Love always.
I met Kenny at Milo’s after the passing of Sam. Milo’s became my Friday night hang out with the Hill boys. He was always so entertaining and enjoyable to be around. I’m so sad to lose another awesome friend. Nina and Gina, I’m very sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. May God’s love and grace help to comfort you. R.I.P. Kenny.
I feel blessed to be friends with Ken. Our early days at GPX it was clear that Ken was a salesman like no other. I learned a lot from Ken and watched him become a great businessman, husband, father, and friend too so many people. He really was “one of a kind”, and will be missed immensely. Gina and Nina, Condolences from the entire Moser family
Dear Gina- so sad and sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. Some of my best memories in life involved Ken, from him being in our wedding in St. Louis to our many great days working together at GPX for over a decade. He was a good ally and partner for many years, and though we moved away to DC and lost touch later in life he will always be remembered as one of my very best friends.
Our deepest sympathies and prayers for you and Nina. -Michael and Colette Momsen
Gina and Nina…….I’m absolutely shocked to hear of Kenny’s passing. I’ve thought to reach out to him some many times over the last several years and now today when I specifically set time aside to search facebook, etc, I find he’s no longer with us….so very sad. As many have said above I remember Ken’s infectious SMILE. The world was a much better place with Ken in it! Thoughts and prayers from Debi and I
