Mrs. Rowe-
I was deeply saddened when I read the paper to find out about the passing of Ken. I worked with him over the past years in regards to health insurance coverage as his agent for a group plan and then finding coverage for his employee Sharyn Hood. I loved talking to Ken - he was such a great person! Please accept my sympathy and condolences for your loss!! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!
God bless you and your family!!

Dear JoAnne,
We were so sad to read about the death of Kenny. We have many fond memories of Kenny at the Shade Shop and of shopping with him when we built our home in 1996. He was kind, funny,and extremely helpful whenever we had a project. I could always rely on Kenny for his expertise. We will miss him. Please know that my whole family was saddened to hear of his death.
