Although I never met Kenneth personally, I wanted to send condolences to Bob & Edith and the rest of their family and hid dear friends. I always enjoyed the pictures Bob would share at work (Dow/BASF) .

I knew Ken many years ago at the Denbigh Health Spa, where we worked out. He was many years younger than I; however, he was so kind to everyone. Someone wrote about how genuine he was and that truly says it all. I saw the many clothing ads with him modeling the nicer clothes. He was so easy to recognize. After he was discovered, I understand he was the same guy he always was.....Good, Kind and certainly Genuine.

Kenneth Insley was a quiet genius. Always polite and present to his friends. Once he gave me a framed photograph. It was a field of yellow poppies in a meadow high in the Italian Alps. A blue sky with scudding clouds. On the back he wrote You could turn 360 degrees and see this scene all around you. You could not help feeling closer to God. I shall miss him off this earth.

I knew Ken as Kenny. I moved to Poquoson when I was 16 and he was so kind to me. We sat by each other on the bus. Years later at our high school reunion we were able to catch up. If possible, he seemed even kinder and so humble. I am so sorry for Kens family, friends and his girlfriend.

My husband and I didn't know him very well, but he was a genuine, kind, honest and down to earth guy. Sad that we didn't get to know him better.

My friend was a vibrant, energetic and decent man. He lived his life to the fullest. When his story is told a 100 years from now, it will be said that Ken was a good guy 100%. I will miss his friendship and my only regret is that we didn't keep in touch as often as we should have. Rest in peace my brother.
