Remembering you..

I was Ken´s friend in 1972. He was dating Suzy. His relationship with Suzy reminded us of Elton John´s Crocodile Rock" which was popular at that time. I talk about him many times throughout the years. It is 2024 and it is the first time I learned of his death. I have not seen him since 1973 when I left for college. It was a magical year when we were friends in 1971-1973. He was a great kid.

Dear Barbara, Ken & Catherine; My heart goes out to you in the great loss of your dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The memory that really stands out was this past Christmas at your Aunt Kathy's house - to see your dad with his sisters, Karen & Kathy cooking in the kitchen for Christmas dinner. Treasure the good memories and know he loved you dearly.

Dear Barbara, Ken & Catherine and family-Kenny was my best friend from age 12-15. He was a great guy, a good kid, hard worker and a sweet soul. I was lucky to have him in my life. We were busboys together snd went to high school together, I have nothing but great memories of him laughing. Please accept my condolences at this heartbreaking time.
