Dear Ken,
I can't wait until tomorrow. My little granddaughter is coming. She is 2 and that is the cutest age! Little kids makes life worth living. I have so many gifts that I could not wrap them all. I hope you are happy in heaven. Yours, Karin

Hi Ken,
I love to play Santa Claus. I have several packages wrapped and ready to be sent to my son and daughter in law in California. I sent flowers to my youngest daughter in law yesterday. I hope it is not too late for the angel tree at church. I have not gotten to get there yet. If it is, I have gift cards for the church. Wherever you are, I hope life is good. Karin

Hi Ken,
I am starting to miss the ghost that was here! As long as it stays out of my bedroom, I don't mind if it wants to visit my home...Karin

Hey, Ken, are you the ghost that has been in my house? So many things were moved around! I think you could find a lot better places than my house, though. How about visiting Russia again? Karin

Hi Ken, I still feel so bad about your going to heaven! I bet you looked really cute in your policeman's uniform. Hank and I have just celebrated our 41st anniversary. He is a wonderful man and I am very happy! Karin

Thank you all for your reminiscences and kind words. Ken had fond memories of his days at PMHS - particularly Mr. Disibio's (sp?) English class.

Deepest symphany on Ken's passing. I met him shortly after he arrived in Patchogue. He actually taught me to cuss in Russian. A great guy whose life was well spent.

I am sorry for your loss. Ken was in several of my Patchogue High School classes. He was a very nice classmate. The class of 1961 will miss Ken.

Mike, I am sorry for your loss. I know you and your Dad did not have the easiest relationship, but I know you each found common ground in these past few years and you were both better for it. I am sure that was a comfort to him in the end. Be comforted that both your Mom and Dad are looking after you now from Heaven. Be well!

I also was in many of Ken's classes but especially remember the biology class with Miss Craig he kept us laughing. Sorry for your loss but the guy upstairs always has a good reason. I also graduated in the class of 61.

I remember Ken from my English class. He had such bright, intelligent eyes. I never got to know him, but wondered, as with many of the people I graduated with, what he had done with his life.

I am sorry about your loss. Ken and I were in grade school at Tremont Avenue in Medford. We also graduated from Patchogue High School in 1961.
Ken was a nice person and will be missed.

I am crying right now. I am too sad to say anything else. Good by Kenny. Nancy will be so happy to see you in heaven. She has been waiting for a long time.
