We have had many a conversation with Kenn & Jinny over the 57 years that we have lived across the street from them. We always marveled at his outstanding memory and he was always willing and able to help us with any and all home repair suggestions. We admired Ken for his excellence in his craft and every Xmas we will enjoy all the needle work he gave us.
He was a good man

What can I say about my "Uncle Kenny". He was a wonderful Uncle and I can
never thank him enough for his service to our great country.
I know Aunt Ginny, Woody and Helen were all waiting for you in Heaven and I am sure you asked where is the closest Pie shop.
I loved my Aunt Ginny and Uncle Kenny with all of my heart. Rosanne

Grandpa Ken was always there when needed. We lived across the circle from him and Virginia and loved his stories. We remember his turtles and especially his orchids. God bless you.
