Kenneth Joseph Younghans, Sr.

Just heard the sad news of my long remembered friend and member of our wedding party 50 years ago.
He was the gentle giant everyone loved.
He will be missed.

Kenny was our dear best friend and most often like a brother to me. In the past years as I became ill and house bound Ken would call me every few weeks with words of encouragement and love and prayers. I miss him more than words can say. He was a remarkable man, extrodinary friend and one that everyone who knew him looked up to. His advice was sound, his humor was just one more example of how he lived his life. He was full of energy, spirit, and generosity.

A brother fireman and then some. I was one of Ken's assistants when he was chief, but more than that I considered him a friend. One of the funniest people you want to know, fire meetings were a hoot when Ken would rise and ask to speak, "Mr. President, through the chair". What followed would usually keep us in stitches for a long time. Will never forget those days and especially the fun we all had in Wildwood every year. Thanks for some good memories, I and my family will miss you. Our...

I knew Kenneth Younghans as Uncle Kenny (he was my Mom's stepbrother), who was kind and loving towards his step-nieces. He is much in my thoughts and memories at this time.

When I was a junior fireman, he was the first to allow me to call him by his first name...he will be missed.

Ken was a perfect gentleman,and made everyone around him feel welcome and loved. He will be missed by his many friends and family. Ken will live in our hearts and prayers forever.

Kenny was a brother fireman and will be missed by many but not forgotten. Rest in peace brother Ken.
