Dear Rose, Ken, Jeff and families: We have so many happy memories of cousin Ken; our trip to Florida, family reunions since 1955, most recent being at Hammel Woods in Joliet for the last approximately 15 years. Also, birthday parties, wedding receptions and many other happy occasions. His wonderful laugh, kindness, funny jokes, out-going personality, as well as love and support, will forever be remembered and definitely missed. He will forever be in our hearts. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love to all, Steve & Sandy (Valerugo) Kimak
