To Ken's family: Freunds Gas Station & Appliance Store played a great part as I grew up. From sweeping the driveways, to pumping gas and later helping to deliver televisions, etc. I still remember the Christmas when your Dad gve me a 22 cal rifle for a present. Later after I married, we always shopped for appliances at Freunds. Your Dad was a true gentleman.
With Deep Regards, Richard L. Campbell

Dear Kenny,
We were saddened to read about your father's death this morning. We have great memories of him at the store, as he was always friendly & cheerful when we stopped in.
This sure won't be your happiest birthday, or your merriest Christmas, but we hope you will be able to brighten your spirits somewhat... thinking of the good times you had with your dad. Our thoughts & prayers will be with you in the sad days ahead.
Missing you...

Kenny's Family - I was sad to learn of the passing away of Ken. My wife and I bought many appliances from him, and we were friends for many years. Although my memories are dimmer these days, I believe he also owned and ran the bar and cafe at the old Muscanetcong Country Club in Stanhope.
