I remember the day of our 1st freshman football practice in Aug of 1986, I asked Ken if he was related to any Salms from the Potter area..he said "not sure, but we go to Gruett's" (he pronounced it ::grew-etts::) I started laughing and said: Ken it's pronounced ::grits:: he preceded to argue with me about for a few weeks.. I think until the next time his family went there to pick up parts for the farm.

Kenny, we had some great times..I don't remember the last time I saw you :( however may your journey, to wherever we go afterwards, be wonderful!

Your friend,
Tim Raddatz (Roncalli '90)

I was deeply saddened to hear of Kenny's passing. We graduated from Kiel HS together and some of my fondest memories include Kenny. He was a good friend, great choir partner and one of the most genuine people I ever met. As you grieve, find comfort in knowing that you are honoring him with every memory and that he still lives within your hearts and through his three sons. You have my deepest sympathy.
