I just heard, my thoughts go out to the family and up to Ken.

When I was very young, Ken was a great friend to my mom and dad (Dorothy and Dick Jolly). I remember growing up in Boulder Hill with ken's family. After age 10, I spent many a fishing trips tagging along with Ken and my dad and I can always recall Ken's fun natured spirit as they let me fish along side them. I will always still think fondly of him and smile when I think of his name.

Pat - I just heard about Mick. I am so very sorry. Even though we haven't been in touch , I think of both of you frequently.
I will always have good memories of the times I spent time with Mick, Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Kenny. My thoughts are with you and the kids. Take good care. With love, JoAnn

I'm going to miss seeing Mick walking down Park Street with his dog. Whenever I was outside, he would stop, and we would shoot the breeze. Please accept my condolences at this difficult time.

My sister and I sort of grew up with Ken because our mothers were close friends. (Back then he was known as Mickey.) I'm so sorry to learn of his passing, and send condolences to his family.
