Not sure what to say?

Dear Donna and Kerri, Even though I only saw Uncle Ken several times in my life, I agree he was special. May God hold you in his hands during this most difficult time. Love, MaryAnne and Tony Borseth
p.s. Uncle Ken, please say "hi" to my Dad also, just like Cousin Susan said. Love ya!

Ken,

To quote my own father: "The world doesn't produce men like Ken Kuehn anymore." This statement is so true in the way you lived your life. You have set an example for me to follow in your love for your family and patriotism for your country. I miss you and feel proud to have known you.

What a legacy you have left us, my dear Uncle Ken. So many of your nieces and nephews have said that you are their favorite Uncle, as I have always thought of you. Like Susan, I remember you in your Army uniform, running up our steps on Garfield Av., and having your wonderful car with the rumble seat, sitting by the curb. We had many an exciting and wonderful ride in that rumble seat. I will miss your great sense of humor (as is true with most of the Kuehns) and your presence at our...

Dear Donna, Kerri & Craig,
Tom and I will be thinking of you today as you say good-bye to Uncle Ken. What a special man he was, and we will treasure the time spent with him at the Kuehn family reunions. How wonderful that you have so many great memories to share, that you will have Ken in your heart and he will be with you always. You are in our prayers. God's blessings to you, as He keeps his loving arms around you to give you strength and comfort. Love, Tom and Char

Uncle Ken,I will miss your energy and strength for whatever you did and for what life through in your path. I will miss your intellect, your sense of humor. I will miss your quiet presence. I was very glad to have you as my Uncle.

We will remember you, Ken, for your smile, your good humor and your kindness toward everyone.

We think often of the time spent at the reunions in Wanda and Seattle. We really got to know you better. Every time I looked across the room, Uncle Ken, I saw my dad. I'm only sorry that you and Donna came into our lives so late. What fun you are!
Donna, Kerri, and Craig: May the Lord continue to hold you in His loving arms and bring you the strength to see you through these difficult days. As Dennis so aptly put it, those wings were traded in and Uncle Ken now soars with the angels.

Uncle Ken was always my favorite uncle. He stayed with us when I was a little girl and he stole my heart with his dashing good looks and his WWII Air Force uniform. He had a very cool Model T Ford and took me and Cousin Barbara for rides in the rumble seat - we screamed with delight as we bumped along. As an adult, I admired his positive attitude, devilish smile and knowing eyes. I loved listening to his stories of flying and the Air Museum in Tucson. Uncle Kenneth, you are the best and I'll...

My thoughts are with you and your mom, Kerri. May your father rest in peace and find peace in knowing that he did such a great job in raising a wonderful daughter such as you.
