Jayne, my deepest condolence for you and your
family. I can think back and see a smile on
Kenneth's face. Know that He and Luke have gone
ahead and we will meet up with them again.
God bless and Rest in Peace - Kenneth!
So sorry for your loss and especially sorry that I
didn't get to come see you and Ken. He was a good
friend and will be missed.
Ken was all about greeting everyone with an upbeat attitude.
For several years he worked it into his schedule to do
installations for my small interior design business. He was the
kind of person you could count on to be there when he said he
would be. You never had to wonder because he always had
that same even personality and seemed to have a
peacefulness about the way he went about doing things. I
send my sympathy to Jayne, Jeff, Mark. He was a wonderful
family man. So sorry for your loss.
