My son Mark (Shane's good friend) just told me about the loss of his Grandpa. So sad to hear this news for all of you especially you Gail. I am remembering Ken came to the rescue years ago to my Dad in Cold Spring when a tree fell on his sunroom and damaged the chimney. He was such a good man. May he rest in peace.
