To the Wilsons- some of my fondest memories of growing up were the annual BBQ in the summer and going over to play at the Wilson house in Montague- . Every time I saw Ken he always had a smile on his face and an easygoing way about him. I'm better for knowing you folks and your Dad. Please accept my condolences and those of the rest of the Lawlor family- God bless-

I'm very sorry to hear of Kennies passing. I don't think I've ever met a man that has survived so much. I will surly miss him coming out to the Louie Setzer shows and other Bluegrass events. May God rest his soul and bless Martha and the rest of his family

I know first hand there are no words to console on this day. Please know my heart is with you all and I WISH I could be there to support and comfort each of you today. Take care of each other and Martha now!!! I can only imagine Ken has already gotten together a group of angels in heaven to form a band singing for all who will listen. I love you all!
