The world has lost a good man. He loved his family and had an excellent work ethic. The last time we talked we discussed our health issues as we older adults often do. I know his family and friends will miss him dearly. My heartfelt condolences to Ken’s daughters and grandchildren.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Kenny practically all my life. We were neighbors and hung out together. Last time I saw him was at my brothers funeral and it was really nice seeing him. We then became friends on Facebook and kept in contact. Kenny was a truly great man and will be missed. RIP. Kenny

I’m gonna miss Kenny. The times on the river..the times on the trails..fixing RVs..
He wasn’t just my father in law, but also my mentor and definitely my friend. He had a lot to do with the man I am today..good and bad.
Truly the best father in law and friend anyone could ask for.
