I knew Ken for 53 years having met him in 1967. I remember because the Yom Kippur war was happening that year.
We were in Algebra class together.
Ken was the kind of kid sat in the back of the class but you knew it was his choice because he was naturally smart and had enormous amount of charisma.
We instantly became friends and hit it off.
We went through many adventures and some misadventures together. Too many to tell here. I will tell some at his rememberance.
Ken wasva dear friend and is sorely missed after all how many genuine friends do you get in a lifetime?
Ken was mine.

Ken was a kind, funny, and caring person. May his memories give Robin, his family, and friends the gift of remembering his laughter, talents, and love for them all.

My Dearest Robin, My Heart Goes Out to You at this Saddest Moment in Time and Pray that Your Friends and Family with Be a Tower of Strength for You and Each Other!! I posted 3 or 4 other pictures and poems but so far THEY have only approved and allowed the LAST one (which is confusing)... I posted the one of you two on the boat, the Christmas photo in front of the tree and (of course) the Chuck Norris photo (I think... I'm trying to remember)... Wonder if they only allow one submission per person - If so, you won't be seeing this message!! Sending you much love and big hugs across the miles!! Kenny was one in a million, a Gem and the Whole World is crying with you, feeling the Vibrational Loss on the Planet!!! May G-d Bless You and the family with comfort and peaceful moments to help soften your sorrow, if that is even in any way possible!!!!

My Dear Sweet Robin - My Heart is Broken for You Two!! But So Forever Grateful for All the Love You Brought to Dear Kenny!! Your Smiling Faces - Your Eyes and His - Glistening and Sparkling - Full of Love for Each Other - Tells the Whole Story!! You Know You Found a Gem in Him - and I Know He Found a Gem in You - He Knew It Too!! Wish I had another photo of the two of you to post here, but I guess "Chuck Norris" from his younger days will just have to do!! This is how "I" always remember him since meeting 12/31/80!! Please be gentle with yourself and accept the outpouring of love from friends and family!! Wish I could deliver MY BIG HUGS in person!!
To Ina & Shane and the rest of the family & friends - my deepest condolences!! You may not remember me Shane - but we celebrated your birthday "up the road a piece" at a Dunkin Donuts on Old Country Road in Plainview... I think you were... 9!!

Ken always had a smile on his face and most times that and the twinkle in his eye was for Robin! My heart breaks for you but I know he is with you forever now. My condolences to you, your kids, his son and sister and all his grandkids. His other “family” of which I am a member will miss him immensely. Rest In Peace Kenny.
