Not sure what to say?

Missing you. You´ve been on my mind quite a bit lately. A lot has changed these last 15 years. You´d be a great grandpa now. My son is 7 and has started asking about you. I´m so glad he does. I think about how y´all would interact with each other, and I know you´d show him the same humor, love and compassion you gave me, you guys would be inseparable. I love you indefinitely. Thank you for the impact you still have on me. Till we meet again.

KENNETH WAS MY HALF BROTHER AND HE USED TO SIT ON ME AND TICKLE ME ALL THE TIME. HE WAS ALWAYS DRAWING THINGS.

I just received the sad news! "Ken-N-Jim" have been part of my show at The Parker County Peach Festival for years,where they were always the "Main Event"! Ken, you will be so missed! My thoughts and prayers are with Susan and also with "Jim".
Such a wonderful, talented person!

Ken was a talent to be reckoned with. Having performed at shows with Ken n Jim, I know that he will continue to live in our hearts. He made you believe Jim was turning his head around & I think of him and their program everytime I eat "Popcorn". Every child whose eyes he has lit up will miss him sorely. Our hearts and prayers go out to Susan, family, Jim and other friends.

Ken will be sorely missed in Sherman. His joy and energy lit up a room. As part of our summer reading programs, Ken-N-Jim kept our young patrons entertained and singing. Our prayers go out to his family.

I have worked with Ken-n-Jim numerous times since I started my library career 8 years ago. I've loved their humor, creativity, and zest for life and learning. What a special bond these 2 guys shared. Jim, I know you and Ken's family and other friends miss Ken very much. I'll be thinking of you all, and missing Ken, too.

Ken brought joy and laughter to hundreds of children & their families at our library throughout the years - what a gift and blessing his life was. He will be missed.

Ken won the hearts of the children of Red Oak last summer during summer reading club at the library. His memory brings a smile to all of us who knew him.

He was a great asset to the school and library entertainment world and will greatly be missed.
