Val, so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Your family has had so much sorrow lately. I remember all the good times and and fun when we all played together in our youth. I will never forget Ken, because he always had a great smile and loved picking on me. Ken has gone on to be with your parents so he can finally be at peace. Here are a few things I know he would want me to say...I'm sorry I couldn't stay another day, to talk to you, to laugh, love or hold you, but you all gave me the best things in my life...your unconditional love, kindness, and unforgettable moments. Ken would tell you please do not be unhappy because I'm out of sight just remember I am that fly on the wall watching out for you all..every morning, noon, and night. RIP my dear friend. Fly high Ken
