My Grandpa Ken was a wonderful man. He and my Grandma Esther were a very important part of my life. I wish my kids could have had a chance to know them. Grandpa was a loving and patient man with a playful sense of humor. He would always make me laugh. Even when I moved far away and grew into an adult he would call me once in a while just to chat and let me know that he loved me. He will always have a place in my heart.

Kenny it was such a pleasure knowing you for so many years.
The time we were able to spend at work was very valuable to me and my career. Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
Your management style taught me so much. Kathy still talks about the BBQ's and the good times we had with you and Esther. Your memories will be with us forever.

Ken was an extremely nice person who was always willing to help anyone. Ken was my Poker buddy and we played poker most every Friday night a family ranch for nickles and dimes. His wife Ester use to play Poker too before she passed. Ken and Ester were just fun to be around and both will be greatly missed. They are together now. Nikki Miller
