Mr. Kenneth was like a father to me. He is a great man and treated like on of his own. Many memories of weekends at the house and trips in the van. Wish I could have thank him for all his kindness. Hopefully one day I can. Love towards his family from mine.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

For twenty-two years
This sailor has stood the watch
While some of us were in our bunks at night
This sailor stood the watch
While some of us were in school learning our trade
This shipmate stood the watch
Yes.. even before some of us were born into this world
This shipmate stood the watch
In those years when the storm clouds of war were seen brewing on the horizon of history
This shipmate stood the watch
Many times he would cast an eye ashore and see his family...
