Ken was a great guy and a wonderful friend. Jordy and I spent much time with Ken and Cynthia sharing our love of dance at many dance venues through the years. He was always a joy to be around and always made us smile. He will never be forgotten. Blessings and hugs being sent to Cynthia and family.

Dear Family,

Can't express the shock of learning of Ken's passing today at the bowling alley. My husband Carl bowled in the league with him. Everyone so loved him. I know how he loved to talk about him dancing with his beautiful wife. Know because of our faith in Jesus we will see one another again.

Ken is my cousin. He was the big brother when Denny and us youngsters goofed off together. As we grew up and we spread across the USA I looked enjoyed receiving his Christmas card each year. I missed it this year . . . I'm grateful to call him kin. He will remain a blessing with the happiness he brought and the lives he affected with his work. Rest in peace now, Kenny. My your family heal well from their loss of you.
