Ken, we were best of friends for 58 years and only your passing keeps us apart. You were a successful salon owner, a lover of design, art and fashion. I will always remember our many travels together. And I will miss you every day.

I am saddened by Kenny's passing, but grateful that he has found comfort. He was a kind and generous man who gave his time to others. I will remember the many times that I ran into him at Brother's in Wakefield, as he was picking up meals to bring to people in his care. Always funny and fabulous! Rest in peace, Kenny. Love, Nicole
