To: Mary, Dawn, Michael, Ken's grand children & the Jr. Dog and everyone else who loved and misses him as I do. Ken my brother has left me many good memories especially during these past three years, his courage, his love for life, his ability to make something beautiful from a piece of scrap wood and some paint. I know Ken will be with me every time I pick up a hammer and nail.
I will remeber all these things and many more. Until we meet again
my brother and we sing again as I know the karaoke road show is in full swing up yonder, save me a mic.
Love and miss you my brother
