Oh Pam....I am so sorry to hear about Ken's passing. I cried. I know these words will never replace the love of your life, but please know that you are in my prayers. Ken was always a pleasure to be around, helpful when asked and full of spunk. I enjoyed working with both you and Ken through our Roy Tailors relationship. I'll never forget either of you. Take care...and if you are ever down here in Cincy, please call. Maybe we can do lunch or something. 513-368-4901

Ken was an original chain crew member on the sideline on Friday nights at Hilliard Bradley High School. Thank you for your service Ken and your contribution in getting our football program off on the right foot. We will pray for your family and for their loss while remembering you always.

Kenny I will miss you dearly. Will never forget how you taught me to ride that little red mini bike and how to catch and throw a softball. You had the coolest Chevy Nova too. Always enjoyed when Mom and Dad would bring us to Ohio to visit. Or when you all came to VA. We will all see each other again soon in heaven.

As others have already said, Ken was a gallant supporter of public safety and the men and women who wear the uniform to serve their fellow citizens. Though he will be missed greatly, he will forever leave his mark on this community and will be remembered for contributing to a safer Ohio through his advocacy of public safety causes.

Pam and Alex-
My love and peaceful thoughts are with you both. This is such a shock. You were blessed with a wonderful husband and father and I know his legacy will live on with both of you. What wonderful memories Ken, Becky and my nephews have of Mr. Kenny.
Peace,

Words cant express the pain and loss so many of us in the public safety profession feel over the passing of Ken. He was not only a business owner who did business with us but a part of our profession as a HUGE Champion for what we do in public safety! I will miss him as a great friend who was always looking to share a laugh with a story... Pam, Alex and the rest of the Barton family thank you for allowing us to be in Ken's life and sharing him with us...
