I absolutely loved him. He was my favorite person that came into the bread of life while I was working there, he´s made me so many things out of wood and I´ll forever cherish them! My deepest sympathy to his family.

Kenneth was a dear friend and I am deeply saddened by his death we played football together at Lafayette and graduated together in 1956.
He came to a luncheon with some of his classmates recently and I am so glad that we got to see him RIP
