Kenny I will always remember how sweet you were to me. It was so inspiring to see how you helped fulfill God's purpose in your parents lives. You were greatly loved by Jean I know. And if you're watching right now you know I loved you too. I'll never forget. Nancy Welch

I remember Kenny's bright smile and positive attitude. What a wonderful smile he must have now in the presence of Jesus!

We are thinking of you, Kenny, up in heaven, and of your whole family. You will surely be missed by all, but our loss is your gain.

We didn't know you well, but you remind us so much of our friend, Curt Cole, who also was known for his broad smile and big hugs. You and Curt have taught us much. We are grateful for your life.

Lovingly,
Tim and Jo Klenk

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

July 7, 2010

Am grateful for this opportunity to remember again what a joy Kenny was to all those around him. When he came to the office with "Daddy" complete in business suit, tie, and with his legal pad, he was admired by all around him. He sat in an empty office one morning and "wrote a letter" to Linnea while Ken Sr. had several meetings. It was a rare occasion because Jean had another commitment.

Love in Christ,
Edith Lawrence

I never got the pleasure of meeting you Kenny. I've only read your obituary. You obviously were a very special man and I'm sure you are now very happy with Jesus and Mommy and Daddy. God Bless You!!
