Kenneth Godwin

Love you Dad.

I remember I love you so

I saw the photocopy of the obituary at the watch desk at station 2 (Dearborn fire department) I've been here 23 years but never had the opportunity to meet him though I heard his name on more than one occasion. Thank you for the wonderful look into his life and to whom he was. So sorry for your loss.

I never had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Godwin or his family. I read this exquisitely written obituary and I now feel as though I do know this salt of the Earth giant of a man! My own grandfather has been gone since September 2009. He too was a World War II veteran, and at just 5 feet tall, to my 6'3, he was larger than life! Your heartfelt and absolutely raw emotion is so moving and you paint a picture of this man that makes him so real for even those of us who are strangers!

Kudos to your grandfather-I just read his obit. This could have been my father. What a great man.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I first met Ken when he served on the City pension board. He certainly will be missed. The obit is a great tribute to him. Am sure he and Norma are smiling down. Please let me know when the memorial service will be held. Thank you.

I was Mr. Godwins nurse the night of his passing. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with your family. I am thankful to have had the honor to have met him. What an amazing life he lived! Beautiful tribute! May God continue to hold you all and keep you strong.

I don't know your family at all, but I do read the obituaries in the Free Press every day. The remembrances of your father were so very heartwarming. I feel like I knew him too. Such wonderful memories to comfort you as you go forward in your time of grief. I'm so sorry for your loss especially under the current circumstances.
