I remember the first time I met Ken. He came up to me and hugged me and told me he loved me, and I thought what have I run into. Come to find out he was a great guy and he really loved everyone he met. He will be missed by all but not forgotten. Keep the Faith.

Ken was a customer of mine at Lowes Foods on University. He was one of my favorite customers. He always came in and told funny stories and would depart by saying he loved us, He was a wonderful man and will definitely be missed. I love you Ken!

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Ken. He was a very kind and loving man. He was also very funny. There are two episodes that I would like to share that I will always remember about Ken. One was the time I saw him at Lowe's Foods in Stanleyville. We were picking on each other like we did when he came into Pulliam's BBQ to get something to eat. All he had in his hand was one banana. I asked him why one and not a bunch. Well, my family eats them all up and I have none left. So, I come to get...
