I was so sadden at work to hear of his passing. I had the pleasure of taking care of him for weeks at TMC on the 5th floor. He was so strong, loved life and NEVER complained to be in pain. Heaven got a trooper. He will be missed. Prayers for his wife, family and friends. After leaving our hall for several weeks walking in that room I always expected to see him. RIP Kenneth. You are missed.

Linda and family, I am so sorry to hear about Kenneth's passing. And sorry too, that as cousins, we have not had opportunities to visit more often. My memory of Kennth is that of a kind and gentle person and those are traits you and he inherited from your parents.
Tresa and I are out of the country and will not be able to attend the service but know that we will be there in spirit. The Lord be with you.
