My sympathy to the entire Zielinski family;
Kenny was good friend to many. He loved to talk at length about many things especially fly fishing. He was gracious in giving his time to help young people interested in fly fishing. I know there are many fly-fishers out there who owe all they know about fishing to Kenny. He was also a avery honest person. In fact he told me I had the worst cast he every saw. And he was right. Kenny I will miss you.

For Ken's family.

I wrote this short prayer to help me deal with Ken's passing. I hope it is of some comfort to you.

Kenny,until the Lord reveals himself to you and has you walk in the verdant valleys of the Old Testament, may you dwell in a land of gentle valleys and spring creeks, where the water is cool and clear and the trout are always eager to rise to a dry fly.
And many thanks for that afternoon on the West Fork when you showed me how to use the Renegade. It was a good day!

Dear Jo: My condolence to you, David, Beth and the rest of the family for your loss of Ken. I hope he has found the peace he had hoped to find these last few months. David, your dad was very proud of you, particularly your fishing abilities, and your family. He wanted so much to attend your younger daughter's birthday last week, and did though we all could see he was very ill. It was his last wish I think.
For me, I have lost a good friend, who pleasantly surprised me with his political views, his intellectual depth and his generosity.
I will miss him.

Jo, David, Beth, and Emma I am sorry for your loss.
Kenny I will miss you. I thank you for your contributions to Milwaukee Lake and Stream Fly Fishers. As the Grand Outing Director your tireless scouting for new streams for our monthly outings. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge, with new and old fly fishers, about the art of fly casting, fly tying and your fishing experiences. Your inexhaustible knowledge on many subjects and Great stories. You most certainly would have been a champion on Jeopardy. I will feel your presence whenever I step into a stream. My life has been enriched having known you.
Tight lines Kenny..... Forever tight lines dear friend.
