Mr. Kenneth and I worked together and there was nothing that I asked this man to do for me that he didn't do. He was the kindest soul and he would anything for anyone at any time. He and my Dad made many trips together and they enjoyed that so much.
Mr. Kenneth REST EASY MY FRIEND and I will forever remember you as you were.

Love you Gods Angel,
Claudine

In the world of good guys, Ken was the best. I worked in the roustabout gang for Ken back in our days with Texaco Offshore. My own claim to fame is that Ricky Britt, David Tucker and I were the ones who introduced him to the game of golf. We all treasure the times we spent together, both on the platforms and on the golf course.

Ken was a man who loved the Lord and was never shy about letting you know.

I would offer the standard condolence: "Sorry for your loss". He ain't lost, we know exactly where he is. It is we who gained yet another saint in heaven. We miss you my old friend.

Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord, and let your perpetual light shine on him now and forever.

What a legacy he built. Kids, grandkids, great grandkids, he loves you all.

Poppa Smurf, as you enter heaven please pray for us that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen my old friend, Amen.
