Id like to say that he was the best uncle anyone could ever ask for. He was always there for me while I was growing up. I've always wanted him to be my bus driver but he never was able to get my bus route. I always thought it be so cool to have my uncle as my bus driver and everyone to know that he's my uncle. I do remember that this one time he substituted for my regular bus driver and the hole time I was thinking "yeah that's my uncle!" Now your looking down on me and looking after me. I want to make you proud. I love you and miss you so much. Your truly the best Uncle and bus driver anyone could as for.

Mr.Ken as my children affectionately referred to him, made sure my children arrived safely at school every day for the past 4 years. My kids always had a humorous story about Mr. Ken and were very fond him. Thank you for taking care of them while they were with you, making sure the kids behaved respectfully to each other. All bus drivers should have the care and concern you had. Rest in Peace.

" When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free. Miss me a little, but not too long and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go.
For this is the journey that we all must take and each must go alone. It's all part of the master's plan
a step on the road to home.
So when you are alone and sick of heart go to the family and friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing
good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go. "
