Kenny has been there for me when no one else has, after working 21 years with him at Freeway Ford it will definately not be the same. He was a great person. My heart goes out to Deb and Lil' Ken. I will miss him dearly!

I knew Ken for most of the 38-years he was in the union. I worked with Ken for 5-years while I was employed by Freeway Ford. Ken was definitely a credit to the transportation business and was a true professional in the dispatch of his duties. Ken was a pleasure to have known and worked with. A finer individual would be difficult to find.
