I only met Ken long after the accident. We worked together at Atlantic Mutual. That this man could STILL get up and go to work every day was an inspiration and a testament to his strength. I always admired how he hadn't given up on life despite everything that had happened. His was a great example of fortitude and persistence.

Kenny and I were friends. We all hung out together in our late teens. Alan, Gary, Ronnie, Betty, Linda and the Bandy boys. Kenny and I would shoot hoops together and Dutch date for dinner and sometimes a movie. The last time I saw him prior to the accident was the night before the wreck. It was such a blow to all of us..... Kenny survived and Ronnie and I went a few times to visit him at the Fishersville facility . I left Roanoke in 1983 for Bible College. My brothers would update me sometimes. I did see him once at his Aunts house. I missed our times of playing ball and going out..... I never forgot him and will always see that sweet face. I miss you Kenny. Hope to see you again someday.

Ken was a great guy and a role model for me. His words of encouragement, coaching, and advice helped me through some rough times after my accident.

I am so sorry to her about Kenny. My prayers goes out to his family and friends. I remember him when I was growing up, he lived on 8th street and he ran around with Dennis , Barry and Mark, Sometimes you could find him hanging in Mark's stereo room, Or shooting basketball at the park or riding in Dennis' muscle car. It has been quite a long time since I seen him. Last time, he was riding in the van with his buddy that took care of him. Now he has a new home in Heaven, and GOD has gained an angel..

I knew "Kenny Man" from High School. He had the most beautiful head of long hair then. I hold many fond memories of the times we shared on the tennis court in Jackson Park. I can still see him and Barry Adams walking around the neighborhood or walking to the park to shoot hoops. May he rest in peace. Marsha Bratton Campbell (Boones Mill, VA)

I haven't seen Ken in a long while. I worked with him at Dominion and Atlantic Mutual. I'm really saddened to hear this news. He was a very nice person.
