My Dear Friend and Chiropractor, Come on now baseball season is begining, who am I going to have the Yanks vs the Mets feud with. I especially loved it when I gave you the Yankee lighter, you looked then said, um I don't smoke, though I knew that it was cause you always nagged me to quit. You survived a cruise among lots of other ups and downs, but I guess Heaven needed your cooking and jokes more. I will miss you dearly. 32 years is a long time to know someone,but not long enough.

Uncle Kenny, we will miss you dearly. I am most grateful for the gift of drumming you have given me. Your classic Gretch drum kit and the memories of us playing it together at family holiday gatherings will always remain a vivid and everlasting memory. Also, You (and of course Grandma) are still some of the best cooks I have ever known. The best lobster bisque and homemade ravioli I've ever had! The laughter and good times will never be forgotten.

My only Uncle..Uncle Kenny you will be missed! Whether we were shooting pool,talking travel or just plain old laughing you always made family gatherings great! As a kid we could always count on you to find the loudest truck, the best spitting gag gift or have the most amazing halloween costume. I still remember your sagging silly puty nose. Only you could get me to eat black squid oil or soup made with chicken feet! You were truly one of a kind and I'm sure you and gram are having a throw down in the kitchen in heaven because Iron Chef has nothing on you guys! Rest in Peace we love you!

My Dear Friend,

Who will I make fun of now about being older than me. Although we don't talk to each other that often just to know that you were there when I needed a friend and of course a great doctor. I will miss you and will keep you in my prayers. God Bless you dear friend.

My deepest sympathy to your family,

Our sympathies to the family on your loss! Dr. Ken was my first job out of medical assisting school. He diagnosed and gave us more time with "Mom" when the medical doctors missed it. Thanks to Dr. Ken for giving us health & life.

You were a wonderful, caring man who went far above & beyond the norm for your patients. Every member of our family was fortunate to have been helped by you at one point or another. We always felt better after a session with you, not only physically, but in the way that you lifted our spirits. Conversations with you showed your intelligence, concern & perhaps most of all, your great sense of humour, as well as your kindness. We will all miss you more than words can express, and extend our deepest sympathies to Patty.
Carol, Bob, Carli, Lindy & Robyn Ferris (& your pal Rosie)
