Rich & Carol, Tina, Lou,
I´m thinking of you all on this day as I remember Ken. He, like you Rich, was a good man. I have fond memories of both him and your mom being so kind to me during many of those Sunday dinners in their warm and loving home. Fond memories, indeed.
Be at peace today as you hold in your heart the knowledge of how much joy and love you brought one another.

I just found out about your Dad's death and it brought back memories (how many is impossible to count) of hanging with your parents in your house on Hill St. A long time ago. Your parents were always there for you and your friends. They are a piece of a lot of people's past. Take care and think of lots of good stories to preserve.
