Ken, You were taken far to quickly from your family and all who knew you. As my salesman AND friend you were great. I always enjoyed morning sports talks over a cup of coffee at the store. You will be remembered fondly, and sadly missed by all that had the fortune to know you. Godspeed

I didn't closely work with Kenny but talked to him regularly while working at Tony's Foodland. He was very good at his job and talked spiritedly about his sons. I will miss seeing his happy face in the store. My prayers go out to his family during this very difficult time.

My husband and I were friends with Kenny in highschool and since then saw him occasionally over the years. This past school year our daughter entered Kindergarten at Hollis Elementary which reconnected us to Kenny on a more regular basis. Chatting with him at school dismissal time was fun and I especially loved seeing him as a Daddy and Husband. It was obvious that his family meant the world to him! Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time of loss. May his legacy live on through his boys and through all who were blessed to know and love him.

Growing up I lived two houses away from Kenny and his family and spent a lot of time at his house. Unfortunately as adults our paths only crossed a few times. I will always remember him for being such a good 'kid' with a heart of gold. He surely was taken from us way too soon.
