To the Luke Family,
I was saddened to hear the news of Kenny’s passing. My sincere condolences go out to the entire family. Ken will be truly missed.
Kenny and I go back to the Franklin Little League days. We played ball together for Mento’s ; went to school together and had some great times in Franklin Twp.
Scotty, keep his memory alive. Continue to be a sports fan. Perhaps we can put a softball tournament together in Kenny's name.
Peace Always;

To the Luke Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you in this arduous time. Be at peace knowing that Ken was a wonderful man and a brilliant lawyer.
