Not sure what to say?

I hadn't seen my Uncle Ken, since I was a young boy, but I remember well his smile--- so I guess he always had it. On behalf of my brother, Eric, and myself, I want extend our deep and heart-felt condolences and sympathies to our aunt, Pat, to our cousins, Karin and Susan, and to all family, who miss our Uncle Ken, too. God bless you and send you His peace and His finest blessings. Patrick and Eric

Kenny was the comedian of the Tangerine Street block in East Bakersfield when he and Pat lived there. I always enjoyed visiting with him, listening to his tales either about Shell Oil, politics or his joking. He always had that huge smile, grinning from ear to ear. RIP, Kenny. Hand Salute from this sailor for your service to our country, my friend. Rest in Peace and Semper Fidelis, Marine.

I knew Kenny from the many times he donated blood. As employees, we always looked forward to seeing him and his megawatt smile! Thank you Kenny!

I loved my dad very much. He was and will always be my hero. I will miss him here on earth. Tell it’s my time to see him in heaven.

Kenny was a great father, husband, and friend; but most of all he loved the Lord! Kenny will be sorely missed by us left behind and restrained here on earth, although heaven is rejoicing now with a new member of God's Army! See you soon dear friend!
