Helen and Family,
We were very saddened to hear of Ken's passing. I'm going to miss our yard talks and reminiscing of old times, like places worked and good old times, in the Gloucester Township areas.
Remember we are only a step away.

To the family and friends of Kenneth: I was so saddened to learn of Kenneth's passing. I work for Booth Radiology in the MRI suite and Kenneth and I shared the same birthday, just different years. He always had a smile on his face whenever he came in to the office for his MRI's. I will miss him! My prayers are with you and your family at this time.
