Goodbye fellow SCS employee and funny friend. It always brightened up when Cowboy walked in the room. A heart felt loss but thanks to his family for being his joy. -Guy

Cowboy was such a good-hearted, kind soul! I always thought his heart trouble would do him in but God had other plans. I'm so glad we got to reconnect in recent months. He and I traveled for SOCO to Pennsylvania about 15 years ago and he still remembered every detail.
I hope, in Heaven, my son finds him and that Cowboy will take him fishing!

Ken. You were an awesome person. You had such a big heart and a beautiful soul. You loved helping people. You were so smart when it came to working on computers. It was amazing. I know you are in heaven with a perfect body and no health issues. You are seeing all your loved ones and friends that have gone to heaven before you. I know I will see you again. Time apart is only temporary. I love you!!

Ken was a great person and a dear friend. We spent many days working on fishing lure machines. He was always there in my times of need. God Bless!

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
