Ken had one of those rare christian hearts, always ready with advice & a helping hand. I already miss our talks on our patios (like talking over the fence neighbor). His family is a true testament of what good people he & Jane were & with that said, they will carry his legacy. God Bless them all.

Kenny kept me connected to my cousins. He was the great communicator and I will miss him. Our paths seldom crossed since I moved to Miami in 1976, but when they did it was always a quality experience.

What I will miss is Ken's big heart & smile. When we were kids, we often went fishing at the Lake & I look back on those days with fond memories. Ken was also the one that kept the family informed & that was appreciated. I send my condolences to the family
