So many memories of our shared fun times together. Pattie, we will meet our guys up in heaven. They are waiting for us.

I looked at my thoughts from 2011. The world is sadder without Ken's big personality lighting up a room. Put him and Billy Hall together and it was a party happening.

Memories...playing "31" at the Pompano Beach golf club, watching football games (go Dolphins), dinners (especially at the Fin & Claw), drinks and sometimes a stop at the Elks Club...memories. But mainly enjoying Ken's wonderful personality that made any occasion special. This is what anyone who knew Ken will miss. Patti, thinking of you.
