Oh, how I remember that houseboat trip on the Mississippi as well as the champage and Oysters Rockefeller party. Ken was always the perfect host and the conversation Chez Hub was always the best. Much love, Sue. Mary Kay

God Bless all of the Hubs , their families and friends, and God rest Uncle Ken's soul. He was always very kind to me and treated me with respect that a lot of times I did not deserve. I really enjoyed it when he and Aunt Sue stopped by our home in Flower Mound on their way south of here. It was fun talking astronomy with him. I did not know he served our country in WW2 and certainly would have let him know that I appreciate his service. I just assumed he was the same age as my Dad. One of the best memories I have of him was during one of those famous games of "grunt" at my paernts house in Webster Groves. Liz's boyfriend, Angelo Rancini did not want to play, and stated that he did not know how and probably wouldn't understand. Uncle Ken: "come on and play Angelo , you could do it, it's a very simple game " ouch!
needless to say, when he realized how that sounded to Angelo , he tried to explain what he really meant. Angelo had some fun with that and didn't let him off the hook for a while. With much Love to all the Hubs, Greg Streeter.
