I don't believe I have the proper words to express the sadness I feel today. Friends at Roosevelt then reconnecting at our 50th reunion Ken and I have been in close touch for the past ten years. Most recently as he battled pancreatic cancer then suffering a stroke on June 12th he has fought an amazing battle. Ken was a wonderful friend, a caring loving husband, father, father in law and grandfather. Such a big heart and just a plain good soul. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him. God Bless Ken and his family.

Sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. Certainly not a close friend of mine but we have a connection that goes back to our years at Hiawatha School. What do I remember about Ken? A really nice smile. Condolences to his family.
