Through KHL, I had the pleasure of knowing Ken for seven years. I appreciated his warm and honest nature. While I miss him greatly, the world will feel an even greater loss for a man who set an example of how to live as a kind, loving and generous soul.



I wish that you find peace soon as you remember your husband and father for the wonderful times you shared and the great lessons he taught you on how to live life with grace. God bless you and Kenny.

Dear Sue & Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Kenny was very special to me and I will always treasure the memories of working with him at KHL. He was a very kind gentle man who often talked about his family being his number one! What a great dad and husband to have. I still will never forget the look on your face when Kenny came out dressed like an indian during one of our Christmas Parties. Surprise! We'll stop there as you know the rest. That was Kenny for you.. Full of surprises and jokes!

Sue, Take care of yourself and God Bless you and your family. May you cherish all the memories of Kenny in your hearts forever.
