Ken was a very sweet and kind man and I remember him with fond memories. I met him over 50 years ago at my very first job and remember his cheerful personality and appreciated his kindness to a new employee.

I met Ken and Barbara at my first Children's Research Foundation Board meeting over 42 yrs. ago. He and Barbara were members for a long time before that. They started the CRF "apple day" in the 60's with the Joliet Jr. Women's Club. Ken loved kids, dogs and EVERYONE!! CRF and I personally will miss him greatly. Pat Broggi

Kenny will be truly missed. He was the person at the other end of the phone each Thursday reminding us that Saturday morning we would be meeting for coffee. He would often be the first one there as he loved being surrounded by his friends. The more friends, the better. He spoke often of this family--especially his grandchildren. He will be genuinely missed...until we meet again...over coffee and conversation! Love you Kenny. Sue Shelton
