My sincere condolences to Michelle and their boys. I am very fortunate to have had a friend such as Ken and I will miss him greatly. His compassion and general concern for others was commendable. He was the greatest man I have ever had the pleasure to know. Godbless

We were deeply saddened to hear about Kenney's death.

We know how difficult this must be for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Kenney had such a big smile, strong handshake, and a personality that could fill the room.

We remember how proud he was of his sons. His face really had a shine of pride when he introduced them to us and told stories about them. They are his pride and joy.

We know how greatly you will miss Kenney. We encourage you to draw on your strength and the strength of our family to get through this time of grief. Kenney would want us to be strong.

We look forward to seeing you all on July 31. If there is anything we can do in the mean time please let us know.

May God continue to bless you and your family during this time of sorrow and always.

Respectfully yours,

The Marshall W. Ritchey family
