100 years ago at sportsman speedway Ken was one of my
favorite people to see. He always had a big smile and would
say hello Johnny . Truly a class act. Hate not seeing his family
today but have a little health problem. God bless.

Sylvia I am so sorry for your loss. We reflect
on the fun times with you and Ken..Especially,
Ken hollowing "Red let's go"..He fussed about
the donkey's you had but wouldn't dare sale
one..He laughed and said she loves those
donkey. I must say Sylvia you are one of the
strongest women I have ever see. You worked day
and night with the cows, feeding & water them,
in the freezing cold..Loved to watch you both
working the hay..Him mowing then you tittering.
Then final results. Never forget y'alls happy
faces when the hay was all done. We will
continue to lift you up in our prayers..We are
here for you...
