Not sure what to say?

Kenny was a blessing. A kind and loving soul who touched many hearts. His up beat attitude and sharp mind challenged us all. I got to know Kenny when he started buying vacant land. We would march through the woods looking for property lines and land marks. He loved buying a good parcel of land and putting a road and picnic table on it. The joy in his heart was wonderful. God Bless you Kenny!

Hello, Charlie. No see in a VERY long time. Sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Linda and I would run into him in Montague at Lipka's for lunch with his exercise Harem.

Love to meet you for a breakfast or lunch to catch up on the last 50 years or so. My email is [email protected]. Just send me a note when you are free - Steak and Egger?

Mr. Yonkers you will be missed. I learned a lot from our talks. You helped fill in the gaps at Misco. Thank you for the education.

As Closing Manager at Vollmer, Inc. Realtors I closed many land transactions with Ken and his Twig Hugger Partner, Bill Rude. They both were a pleasure to be around and they both had a great time together looking for property to purchase and sell. They would place picnic tables on some of the properties they loved and just spend some time there to relax and enjoy the view and the property. Ken will be missed.

Mr Yonker always came into main Street on ruddiman. I was a server there. He always had a smile on his face and put a smile on everyone around him.

Remebering 50 years of a friend, Ken Yonker:
I can't tell stories of tennis games or business meetings. I didn't know Ken then.

I never liked him as a child. He was my parents' friend who tried too hard to be funny, poked fun at my teen-aged sensitivities - teased about my boyfriends, or a new fashion experiment, and was too goofy for me to understand or joke back. I didn't appreciate Ken then.

But the years passed, I matured and Ken mellowed. His philanthropy became apparent...
