To The Forbes Family, Very sorry for your loss. Ken was a great guy and quite the horse whisperer at the dude ranch.
So long to a nice man.

Dear Mrs. Forbes, Mark, Matt, Cindy and Amy. I was so sorry to hear of your husband/dads passing. I have been reflecting back on the years when we were kids and our families spent a lot of time at eachothers houses on Saturday nites, or for BBQ's and swimming and camping etc. Our families were so very close growing up and ofcourse our parents friendships still continued when it brought them all to N.C. I always felt that Mr. Forbes, A.K.A Fuzzy, was such a wonderful man who was outgoing and generous and loved to have a good time and who was a great friend to my Dad and Mom. He will be missed so much. I will treasure the memories always and keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all.

Love, xoxo

Dear Forbes Family,

My mother asked to let you know of the fond
memories she has of your husband and Dad. He
was always a kind and considerate and would
pop in for a visit when he was in the Canton
area. Her thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Lou and Family, How well I remember the good times working with Kenny at Station 1! A more laid back and gentler man I will never know. When the conversation turned to guys we enjoyed working with Ken's name always came up. Just a great, great guy. We were all lucky to know him. God Bless You All. Greg Wentworth

“Kenny”

What do you call a man who is honest and sincere
One who is gentle and caring, and holds his family dear
A man who is chivalrous and ever so polite
Who speaks so softly, but likes to set things right

What should we call a man who is both courageous and strong
A man who wants to right every possible wrong
One whose heart is as big as all the sky
An Air Force Veteran and an all 'round good guy

What can we call a man who is a perfectionist—maybe even a little OCD
A man who gives his all to everything he does, no matter what it be
One who loves to have a good time and leave you with a smile
A man who loves to throw a party in his own special style

What can you call a man whose orneriness sneaks out at the corners of a stifled grin
Who takes on massive adversity and simply takes it on the chin
A man who has looked destiny squarely in the eyes, and didn't even blink
Who lived every possible moment with those who love him, right down to the brink

What can you possibly call a man of this calibre, of such courageous grace
We certainly need more of his kind in this complicated human race
A name for him, I guess there could be many
But for me, I shall simply call him “Kenny”

RIP Kenny. The light of the world will be a little darker without you.
