Kenneth graduated from Miami Central High School in 1956 and joined the United States Air Force shortly thereafter.

Janice, Kennard, Earline and the rest of the family,
I want to thank Janice for taking care of her husband and my cousin for so long. You did a terrific job. Being a care giver is certainly not easy as some realize. You are an angel and Saint to Kenneth and the family. Kenneth will be missed but is playing baseball and golf over the rainbow. Love to you, Darlene Ward Kiteley

Dear Janice and family.
My very sincere condolences to Ken's loving wife Janice and the whole family. You've been through a lot and did a wonderful job and were so dedicated to the care of Ken.
I've always loved this poem... MISS ME - BUT LET ME GO
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little--but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me--but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me - But Let me Go!
