Not sure what to say?

I have NO idea if anyone from the family will see this or not, but I wanted to say something. I met Kenny in the late '70's or real early '80's because I was dating his sister Laura. For some reason he and I seem to hit it off and I always enjoyed his company. I can't count the times he made me laugh. All I can remember from so long ago is the closeness and kindness of the whole Telgen family. I lost track with everyone when I went into the Navy. I've since retired from that and have been Nursing with my wife for the past 12 years. For some reason I thought I would look everyone up to see how they were and I came across this. If I can ever be of any help to Kenny's wife and children please feel free to contact me. I'm easy to look up on Facebook and I would like to return the kindness that was shown to me.... I'll miss him even more now. My Love and Best Wishes fo all of you...... Edward McKinsey AW1 (AW/NAC/SAR) Retired...

I have not seen Ken for years but the memories from High School remain, track and field, fishing in the everglades, the warmth of his family, a home were everyone was welcome, his pick-up truck, country music, the joy of living!!

I will always remember Ken with his extra heavy book bag walking through Western H.S. We would try to see if we could hold it with one arm. I remember him as the track team's big brother the one we could all hide behind. Always a class act. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, during this most difficult time.

Dear Telgen Family,



We will always remember Ken with his big smile on his lawnmower, his buggy or his boat. What a great guy who will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. May God give you the strength and comfort needed to get through this.



Much love,

The Fasano Family
