Words can not describe how heart broken I am for the loss of my amazing PawPaw. I will not question why...but I sure wish I had more time with him. I will forever cherish the many memories we ever made & hold on to the enduring love that fills my heart as I look back on the time that I had with him. This is not goodbye, it was just simply his time to receive his wings. Until we meet again!!!

Kenneth was a true gift to this world!!!!
He always had a smile to share, a joke to tell, and was always looking for ways to lend a helping heart and hand to those in need! He will surely be missed by many...especially those like myself who learned a great deal about fishing from his stories, experiences and time spent watching him tie knots and learn how to make a "fish finder" lead. There won't be a day that passes by where Emerald Isle won't feel his spirit. And I pray that all who were blessed enough to know him-keep his Cheerful spirit & kind heart alive by continuing his legacy. May Kenneth know how much an impact his life had on ALL those who crossed his path! Our Loss is Heaven's gain. May God lift you up Kenneth into eternal happiness -as you did for all those you touched on this earth!
I will Truly Miss You my dear friend!
♡ Love you~ Karin
