Not sure what to say?





September 1, 2019

When my husband died in 2010, I asked if he would please call me once in a while, check on me, and get me out of the house at least few times a year. He did.

He was a good man and a good friend.

I miss him.

I was shocked and saddened when I heard of Ken's passing. I count him as my friend and certainly a friend to our local history organizations in town, with a tangible interest that was clear whenever we talked. In fact, he had a project in mind that we hoped to collaborate on, which will now have to wait for another day. On my own part and on behalf of Pennsauken Historical Society and Griffith Morgan Committee, our deepest condolences go to Ken's family and loved ones.

we had so many good times growing up, it's hard to believe you are gone, I guess God has big plans for you to take you from us soon. You will surely be missed by everyone who ever knew you, you were a great guy and friend. Love ya brother, will meet up with you in the future, keep the bonfire burning

To a great friend.
I remember when you first joined Delaware Gardens Fire Company as a volunteer fireman. I was a Lieutenant at the time and in charge of giving new members their running gear. When I gave you your helmet I commented on your ponytail and told you to watch it, because it could get singed on a fire. You laughed and say it will grow back in. You became a very dependable fireman and will be greatly missed. We were on a lot of fires together and always worked good as a team.

To your family I wish I could be there but due to health issues, I am unable to attend.

I've tried to call Kenny three times over the past week and a half, each time my heart broke a little bit more. Ken showed me a template of the human being I want to be. I love you KenDawg!

My deepest condolences to Deb, Jousha and the Washington famaily.
Kenny was a great person who never had a bad word to say about anyone. I don't think you could find anyone who could say a bad word about him.
Not only did heaven get nicer when Ken arrived, it also became a lot cooler!

Ken, you left us way too soon...there is no way this void can be filled...but we will try to fill it up with the memories of your selfless, ever-flowing love and kindness...until we meet again. So grateful for the joy...the laughter...the love we shared. Forever in my heart...forever by my side, you remain...until next time.
