Mr. Kenneth was a great American and even more importantly a first class, faithful CHRISTian gentleman-a good husband and an excellent representative of our "Greatest Generation". My sympathy goes to Miss Elizabeth, but I'm so glad that Brother Kenneth has finally had the opportunity to meet his LORD first hand and be given his white robe!
