Dear Kleager Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your Father. I am your Father's first cousin living in Nebraska. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I met your Father only once as a child when your Grandparents came to visit. Your Grandfather was my Dad's, Frank Junior's, brother. Even though I did not know your Father I know the heartache of losing a parent. My sincere condolences to you and all of your loved ones. God Bless.

As the Legion Band recording engineer for 30+ years, I was allowed the opportunity and honor to meet such cherised friends like Ken. You shared your warmth and smile with me and I will pray for you forever. I will meet up with you and I will bring some cd's. I will never forget you Ken. You always had time for me. God Bless You.
