My late husband Ted and I have known Kenneth for many many years. Ted had known Kenneth since the WWII and remained friends for over 60 years. I've known Kenneth nearly 30 years. I will miss his friendship, especially his great sense of humor! I saw both of them last September on my trip to the Bay Area. We had a wonderful day out to lunch and visiting for the afternoon. Kenneth and Dick was so dear to me. I'm going to miss both of you. Kenneth I know you are in heaven and you're with Dick again.
