"Uncle Ken" to me for over 60 years, he was as kind a man as I'll ever meet. Always curious about my doings, he took a real interest in the lives of his extended family. I'll always hold very dear the Talmadge/Gleason holidays and greater Hall reunions, ones that taught us all the importance of family and gave us memories and experiences the importance of which as kids we could only imagine. Now as grandparents, and hopefully with a bit more perspective, those memories, all taking considerable effort by our parents, are a guide to how to build a warm, loving extended of our own. Uncle Ken, I'll always love you and miss you very much! God bless!!
