I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother lived in the same building as Ken, and she and I really enjoyed talking with him. As a matter of fact, if my mom wasn't having the best day and didn't want to go to the dinning room for dinner, I would remind her Ken was there, and that's all it took. We would enjoy a fun, laughter filled meal with Ken, sometimes even singing Irish songs. Thanks for sharing him with us.
