I have such fond memories of him when we were all in high school. It was wonderful being part of your wedding party. True love which lasted the test of time.
I will always remember his laugh and smile and his mischief. May he rest in peace. So glad you had 48 years together!

Back in 1971 a few days before Halloween, Ken(sporting longer hair and a bushy beard) was was installing a light fixture in the kitchen of the townhouse I had just moved into. The doorbell rang just after dark, I opened the door but no one was there. A few minutes later it rang and Ken answered it, again no one. He stepped outside and heard kids giggling in the bushes, one of them loudly whispered "WOW it´s a wolf man!´ Ken said I guess it´s doorbell night so he closed the door and waited. When it rang a third time he opened the door, jumped out and HOWLED long and loud. Kids scattered in every direction. We couldn´t stop laughing and the bell didn´t ring again that night. Thank you sister for bringing his beautiful soul light into my life...I remain forever grateful for all the love and laughter and priceless memories. I´ll love you forever Sage XOXOXO

To the man of many talents, but his greatest one was being the best Dad, Husband and Papa to our family. He is the most amazing man I know and had the pleasure to love so much. I miss you & carry you in my heart everyday!
