Heaven received a wonderful Angel when the Lord took my Uncle Kenneth. He was a very special person to me and a huge influence on my life and instilled in me many of the values which have helped me in my adult life. I didn't get to see him a lot in the past few years, but he was always in my heart. I love you Leisa and Steve and will always hold our family memories dear to my heart.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. Ken was a true gentleman. He will be missed. Love Barbara, Marsha and Randy hall.
