Kenneth M. Rommel Jr.

Dear Lee and family, I am so sorry that I was not aware of Ken's passing. What a career. My dad Sam Matson was lucky and honored to serve with Ken in NYC with the FBI. He passed on Father's Day of 2016. I passed through Santa Fe in 2008 on my way back home from CA to NH and had a short but memorable visit with Lee. I have been thinking of her. Many blessings to you and hope that your hearts continue to heal as they celebrate good times and good memories. Pam Matson 603-923-2021

Aunt Rosalie, Adrienne and Kenny, I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Ken. I know it is a little late, but my heart is with all of you. I will always cherish my many memories of him. We had so much fun when we would visit Santa Fe and when I was very young seeing everyone at Camp. All my love,Suki

Dear Lee and Family:
I was so sorry to hear about Ken's loss. Ken was a joy to know. The world is a darker place without him in it.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the memorial for Ken, as somehow I have gotten older too. Much love to all.

Adrienne and Family - I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you. i know this is a difficult time, but may your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
All my love,

I send my sincere condolences to Ken's family. I worked as his secretary when he was Warden at NMCD. I learned so many things from him and will always remember him.

Adrienne and family,
I only knew Ken for a few short years but he made an impact on me the first time I met him. He's genuine, caring and a real man's man. I'm blessed to have known him. Vaya con dios, Don Egedy

Dear Rommel Family,
It seems like quite a while that I have known Ken. He gave me the same impression of all other FBI guys, smart, quick to smile, reserved, and respected.
I saw him in a grocery store a while ago, and he wrote on a pad for me, telling me that a stroke had affected his speech. He was still the same, smiling, respectful, kind.
Men and friends like Ken do not come along often...but when they do, they make a difference wherever they go.
I will hold...

Back in the day, I met Defunto Kenneth M. Rommel Jr., when I joined the Penitentiary of NM in 1982 after serving in the US Marine Corps. He was a gentle giant but stearn and trustworthy at best. Rest in peace mi amigo. I will keep the candle light burning while he watches over his love-ones at night.
Blessings,
FBI Chaplain Jose L. Villegas, Sr.
