Mr. Purcell, you just left us to soon, you are missed and will alway be. When I moved to NC, in 1998, all my auntie talked about was Purcell, I asked her who is Purcell and she said, I want you to meet him, he is the nicest man in NC. He is my insurance man. So one day I got to meet Mr. Purcell. My Auntie Millie were right, It was like I knew him all my life. And he got to talking about food. It was in December near Christmas time, he asked me could I make Potatoes Pies, I said yes. So I ended up making him a P/Pie. We love you. Mr. Kenneth Purcell, Rest In Heaven.

Condolences to the family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Purcell officiated several of my family members in Scotland County. He always was professional and would find a way to make you laugh are to ease the minds of the people he served. We all must travel this path but it is so good to know that you all have an eternal Angel who lives in Heaven watching over all of you. May God bless and keep you all during this difficult time.

I meet Kenneth at my Auntie Minnie house in Southern Pines,he had taken her some fruit. I had just moved here from NYC In 1998. Kenneth was the nicest person you wanna meet. Come to find out,When we started talking I found out his mother and I went to School together back in the 50th. I moved close to his business. Through my Auntie we became friend, my Auntie loved her Kenneth. She alway call me to carrie her to pay on her funeral and Insurance. We started talking about cooking, he asked me do I make Sweet Potato Pie, I told him yes. So that Christmas I made him a Pie and one of his workers. Kenneth always call me Mrs Hunt never Hunter. Like I said Kenneth was the nicest respectful young man I have meet in NC. Love you Kenneth and U are truly going to be missed. Rest In Peace.
