Ken was a good man and I am sorry to hear of his passing. I enjoyed many conversations with him and thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humor.
RIP, wish we had met you. Crissy is my daughter that kept in touch.
I have the rocking horse Ken made for my son so many years ago and this year I have the privilege of passing it on to my new grandbaby. Thank you for sharing Ken with us. He has a special place in my heart. You are in my prayers.
Linda, I am so sorry to hear about Kenneth. May God bring peace and comfort to you and all your family. Many prayers and heartfelt sympathy.
I am sorry
