Mr. Meuse,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

We will always remember Ken's smile, his easy going good nature, his generosity and how much he enjoyed having a good time.

And who can forget what a great dancer Ken was, always dressed impeccably in his stylish clothes?

We all know how much Ken loved to work and that he would always lend a helping hand whenever he was asked.

But we will mostly remember Ken for his brave service to his country during World War II. We once asked Ken about his World War II experience. He told us in detail how scared he was being a gunner in his aircraft, how cramped they were and cold. He was only 18 when he joined. And that's when we realized that Ken was a hero.

We hope that Norma someday will tell her grandchildren about Ken's defending our freedom and theirs.

We shall miss you, Ken.

Uncle Kenny was always very kind to me. I don't remember ever hearing him raise his voice. I cherish the memories of Sunday dinners in Reading with the Mayo side of the family. I miss those days when we didn't know and didn't care that our food was bad for us. We just ate. Tammy and I send out our love and prayers to Suzanne & Cynthia.

Norma, I feel blessed to have had the privilege of meeting you & Ken. I've enjoyed the times spent together, especially that summer day at the lake. I will forever keep the memory of you & Ken taking a ride on Donny's boat in NH. The smile and happiness you both experienced together that day was priceless. My deepest sympathy for your loss. All my love, Judy
