I will always remember Ken at the kids parties at Tony and Jeni's house. He always had his camera. He didn't miss a shot. He loved to capture all the moments he could. He loved his grandkids and was so loving and very much loved in return.My heart and prayers are with his family. He will definately be miss and never forgotten.

Cousin Sandra,

I send my love and prayers to you and your family who soo dearly loved Ken. From the memories I've read, he sounds like the best grandpa/dad you could have! That's the greatest gift he left for you and your family, (especially the grandkids!) to remember him being such a good person. someone who gave so much love and especially not afraid to show it! He left a big imprint on everyone's life, including mine. I really can't say I know him too well, but the times I was around for the parties, he was an easy person to talk to and he always seems to have a smile on his face. Once you've met Ken, you don't forget! He's a fun guy! May you be surrounded by the ones you love and help you through this difficult time. I'm sorry that this happened so soon. Love to you and to the whole family....

My memories of Ken are 16 years of Grand Kids Birthday parties. What fun they were because he was a doting grandpa. I have heard him talking about Josh's great moves on the field and he would declare to anyone within ear shot "That's my grandson" He was proud of all of them.

He was a good man and will be missed by all who cared for him.

Ken is a great man with a great heart! One thing that always touched me was how much he loved his grandchildren. Timmy always talked about going over to "grandpa with the yoshies" when he was little, as did Josh and Kalea. I will always think of Ken and smile because he was always positive, upbeat and had great stories to tell! He was good people! Sandy I am so sorry, if there is anything you need, don't hesitate! I feel privileged to have known Ken for almost 19 years, and to be a part of his family. He will be greatly missed!
