Karen,
So sorry about your family's loss. Ken will be dearly missed. I want you to know how much I appreciate what he did for my sons in the Scouts. Also, for all the great memories I have of working with him in the kitchen of Neely's Creek ARP as we prepared the monthly family breakfasts. When I would run into him from time to time later, I would tell him he was my "friend for life." I meant it. Too bad he left us at such a young age, but rest assured he's now rejoicing in the presence of his Lord and Savior.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time. We pray that your memories and God's love continue to bring you comfort.
Coach Ken would never let me stop practicing my free throws until I made a few in a row. Because of him, I'm a much better free throw shooter. He will be greatly missed.

Tiny will always be remembered as a loving husband and father. As you share the stories and the memories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant to everyone who knew him, I hope you and your family find comfort. And, throughout this difficult time, I hope you also know the deep sympathy and concern that I feel for you and all your family.
