MY FRIEND! I will greatly miss you, the laughs, the serious talks, the rye smile you offered when I usually said something stupid. God speed. You will be constantly in my thoughts and heart.

Ken was my wife's uncle and welcomed me into the family unhesitatingly. He was a fantastic great-uncle to our daughter, Anna, and offered her his infectious sense of fun. He played many games of pool with her and my wife Nancy, his niece. His woodworking was awe-inspiring, and, unlike me, he could do anything with his hands, even when he was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. He made Anna a little chair to sit on when she was little and also a hobby horse, which she named "Buck-O." He was a wonderful man and was a huge source of help and support when Nancy's mom (his older sister Dorothy) died. I will never forget that. I don't know how we would have managed without him. May the angels speed his way heavenward.

Kenny was such a soft spoken classmate ..he was always mannerly and kind to me. He will be the fourth classmate that was lost from the KHS class of 1961. Why has the time gone so quickly since once we were kids? God bless you Ken.

So sorry to hear about Ken. I worked with him for several years as part of facilities maintenance at Benco. He was so talented with his woodworking.
I am glad I knew him and will think of his family during this time.
