Marilyn, I was so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I always enjoyed looking across the street to see him working in the yard or sitting in the garage passing out Halloween candy. He always said hello to all the neighborhood pets and Remy felt very comfortable with him. May his memory be a blessing to you and your family, as it will be to your neighbors.
