Man, we sure went on many, many road trips, all over the Berkshires. New York, Vermont,and New Hampshire. I'll always remember you at my daughters birthday parties and dinners at my house. We had fun running my sawmill, raising gardens every spring and the things we saw on all our road trips, real lifetime memories. Will miss you pal! RIP Ken..

Dear Family and Friends.
Heart torn sympathy to All.
Kenny lived a world of many devotions.
His Family and Friends always number one.
His taste for salt air was in his blood :
-Fishing or watching the tides roll in and out.
-Surviving high seas fishing capsize off Black Rock R.I. as hurricane Earl pushed off the east coast. Concerned only for Jose's well being and the loss of his fish and tackle lost, never a fear.
-Serving our county in times of war in United States Coast Guard.
-He just simply loved it all, a True Sea Dog.
Kenny was no stranger to old school hard work, never afraid to dive in when most would quit from exhaustion.
He was my right arm for decades especially the last.
We enjoyed our pig out excursions to Nordic lodge, Bernie's Depot, Also Dinner, High Hopes sugar house, Abbots in the Rough just to name a few.
He also was so compassionate to us in our times of sorrow and need when we lost our Fur Babies one at a time, burials, hugs and all.
He is and always will be a Dear Friend and Comrade in Arms to me and my Bride.
Many Thoughts, Prayers, and Memories never to be Forgotten.
Love and Godspeed to All.
Jay + Maryellen Hammond
