My sincere condolences to Kenny's family. I will always have great memories of Skeen from High School and after High School living in Houston. I am saddened by the loss of a great friend.

We wanted to let you know that Bill and I are thinking of you, keeping you in our prayers as you place Kenny in the Lords hands. Always keep the memories alive and you will be very surprised how often something that is said or done or a simple thought will bring him to mind and you will chuckle or maybe just laugh out loud at something "he" said or did. Remember Kenny for who he was, a son, father, husband, brother, uncle and friend or maybe just an acquaintence.
Take time to grieve but also take the time to share with one another talk about him, laugh at the things he did.
May you find peace love and happiness together as a family who has lost their loved one. Both Bill and I are thinking of you, Joann and praying for the whole family.
God Bless you all

My heart goes out to Joann and her family. It is very sad to hear such a great person from such a strong family has passed. I know my family in Battle Creek is saddened by this news. God Bless to Joann, Tom, Scott and Newt and their families.

I am so very sorry that you have lost someone so dear. But I truly believe Kenny is at peace with the wife he loved and missed with every fiber of his being. They are like two young love birds in Heaven. Enjoying peace without pain. I hope you all can take this thought and draw strenght from it when your pain is at its worst. For I believe his is happy again. God Bless all of you during this time of sorrow.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Sending my deppest sympathies to Kenny's family. I have so many fond memories from High School, our reunions and every time I saw him when I came home over the last 3o years, his laugh, his smile and he will be noticeably absent. What a great guy--husband, father and friend. My deepest condolences.

My sincerest condolences to all the Andersons. Fond memories of the years of Kenny's laughter, smile and good humor somewhat ease the pain of his passing. I pray that your road will bring the healing that you need and that you will find some peace knowing he's watching out for you now.

Family and friends of Kenny, I share your loss and sadness.
He was certainly a great person, from the time I met him in Battle Creek in the early 80's until our last round together in Florida not so long ago; me, AL, Dave and Kenny enjoying the links.
Kenny provided a lot of quality memories that we will all remember for ever, both on and off the golf course.
May god bless his family.

Eric, Audrey, Danielle, and Family,
There are no words available to express my sympathy and condolences on the loss of your father and my true friend. I know that the pain and hurt you are feeling right now are undescriable. I too feel a huge emptiness and sadness in my heart knowing that a lifelong friend has left me. Know that your father is in a better place and trust me when I say time is a healer. Hold onto the good memories as they will overpower the sadness that you feel.
Again, my deepest sympathy and condolences on your loss. God bless your family and know that Jody and I love you all dearly and will always have you in our hearts.
Paul, Jody, Chandler, Marcus Link

Kenny
I have so many fond memories growing up with you and your family, Like when I first moved to the lake and you and your brothers picking me up and escorting me to school. You have no idea how special at the time that made me feel. You have always had such a warm and kind heart, you will be dearly missed by all whom knew you. Ms C. my thoughts and prayers are with you, take care in knowing that you now have a special guardian angle watching over you.

Skeen was simply a "great guy". He loved his wife, children and friends very much.
Ken and Judy "lived" for their children and were extremely good parents. The kids are wonderful people now and their parents gave them the capacity to be anything they wanted to be. It is my feeling they will go on to do great things in keeping the memory of their parents alive. I know they are really hurting right now but they must begin to live everyday in their parents honor.
Skeen loved to golf and I loved to golf with him. We had so many good times together on the golf course with Dave, Nick and all "the boys" that would come to Florida and visit every year. He was a super host to all our friends from up north and always showed everyone a great time. I am sure he would appreciate it if I tell you all that he had a really really good short game and he was a surgeon with a putter!!!
I do not have words to describe how much I will miss him. My love and prayers are with his family. God bless Ken and Judy!

Kenny will be missed. I have great memories of our friendship at PHS. The family is in my prayers.

Kenny,
Thank you for being a great friend and Uncle to my children and grandson. They loved you DEARLY and will miss you always.
I'm grateful to have you as a brother-in-law for so many years and to see the love you had between your wife, children and family. Judy must be glad to see you, but your children & dogs are sad you are gone.
We are all sad you are gone.
Your mother gave you a gift that was very special, and that is a very BIG heart for animals and others.
We, and the world will miss you and there will always be a void until we see you again someday.
Many prayers and love to the entire Anderson family. My heart hurts for you all. May God be your grace and heal your hearts from this very sad day.
