No one could ask for a better neighbor/friend. Every time we hear your garage door open, we look for Ken's smiling face. He always had time to visit, have a cold beer, or lend a helping hand.
Now...it's easy to picture him sitting by a lake with a cold one, a fishing pole, and Molly by his side.
Much love from our family to yours.
Rest In Peace Ken.

Diane - Kevin and Bryan:
Words fall short of expressing our sorrow for your loss of beloved husband/father.
One of the few men who carry wedding photos of his bride in his wallet.
He was one of the good guys!
Our thoughts and prayers and with you and your family.
With prayers
