I will always have deep respect and gratitude to my cousin Ken. He had a great impact on my life.
He was a very kind, generous, funny human being, who always had a smiling face and willing to give a helping hand to others. I will always cherish my memories of times we worked together and family gatherings.
Love, Irene Yu
