Not sure what to say?

Kenny stands out to me as an older cousin who had a real heart for others. Who was genuine, and always interested in your story. A gifted athlete in the days of TU and Chuck Ealy, left us all too soon. I had a SM reminder pop up today and Kenny is a warm memory. Best to you Diane and all your children and grandchildren. Kenny would be one of many I´d look forward to seeing in Heaven

Dear Family,
I am very sorry about your lost. Kenny was fellow and help out to set up and tear down the tables at our Family Reunion at St. Michael Lutheran Church each year. We will miss him a lot.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Crots family at this difficult time. I was priveleged to be one of record setting centers along with Bob Knox, Leon Campbell, and Lynn Ashilman. "Penny" was an excellent holder. Frank "X" had Lou "the Toe" Groza, to help Ken work on his form. An NFL Hall of Famer, worked with Ken for the whole practice and told Frank and us, "this kid is golden". All Ken could do is, Thank him, being the humble person he was and continue to do great for the Rockets....

I remember Ken from UT and of course the undefeated Rockets.His teammates and friends who passed before him John Niezgoda, Bob Rose and Steve Schnitke needed s kicker in the afterlife. God bless.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I only met "Uncle Kenny" on a few occasions, but what a great man! I still hear heartwarming stories about him and "Aunt Diane" through Janet and Scott. May God comfort you all through this difficult time.

Dear Family,
I never knew Ken personally but played defensive end in the UT/BG 1969 game, and painfully watched the ball sail slightly over the goal post for a Rocket victory and propelled them to their 35-0 streak. I am friends with many of the former players of UT and they always had nice things to say about their kicker. So Ken, rest in peace, and we'll continue the discussion in heaven someday! May the peace of our Lord Jesus, be with your family at this sad time.

You will be solely missed from riding in the backseat of the car to all of the games, to being a phone call away for any help that anyone needed, to always jumping out of your recliner as soon as anyone saw you with a smiling face. Words cannot express the hole that is in all of our hearts. No more having to say "I'm doing" when anyone asked how you are feeling. Some day will see you again. Love, Bert

Diane, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Marsha, Bert and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time
