I was heartbroken when I heard last night of Kenneth's passing. Although I haven't been in touch with him since high school, I thought about him often. He was truly one of the good guys. May God Bless and comfort you all at this difficult time.

I'm a childhood friend of Kenneth's. From about 1960-1964 Kenneth, Mark Majors, Randy Marcus and I were the 4 Musketeers. We went to church, played ball, spent the night at each others houses etc on a regular basis. Then, I moved to Statesboro and we lost touch but we reconnected at UGA in Athens around 1975 or so. What we found we had in common at that point was our taste in music and we spent a lot of time talking about it and exchanging tapes etc. I heard a few years ago that he was having a rough time health wise but then I bumped in to him at a Ray Davies concert in Atlanta and we had a great conversation catching up on the past and he seemed happy and healthy and we planned to get together for lunch but unfortunately, we never did. He was very deep and totally "got" the meaning of all the music we listened to. Usually, he would throw out some thought provoking comment that would stick with me long after we had gone our separate ways. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral, I'm sitting here at my house alone listening to The Kinks in his honor. I know the world will miss him a lot.

There are barely words! Ken was part of my life for 41 years and for that, I am so lucky, as are all who knew him and basked in that smile.

I am heartbroken for all of us, most of all for Ruby & Molly, but we will all keep him in our hearts forever.

I always liked Kenneth when we were in school and enjoyed seeing him again at the 35th reunion. I am very sorry for your loss.

Meg,

All of us at the Norcross High School reunion were so happy that you and Kenneth became a couple! To have two people we loved so much get married to each other and I know you gave each other so much happiness!

Love you, Terry Chatham Debski

I am so sorry for your loss. Kenneth was such a sweet "boy" as I knew him during our years at Norcross High School and then such a Southern Gentleman in his adult years. May the God of all comfort be your strenght during this difficult time.
