I have known Ken for many years. He is my exhusband's cousin. I remember Ken as a very friendly person. He would also stop and talk to me if he seen me at a restaurant or his favorite store Menard's. I am sure you have many good memories of him that will be in your hearts forever. I will always keep his memory in my heart.

We have been neighbors of yours for many years. Ken always had a smile on his face and waved as he drove in and out. Whenever he thought we needed help or just wanted to chat he would stop in. We are so sorry for your loss and if you need any help at all please do not hesitate to ask.

Deb I am so sorry that I couldn't get to you any quicker than I could. Ken was a great guy and your 17 years together were filled with so much joy and happiness. You two were put together by glue(or maybe it was duct tape) and shared such a love that many people will never know. Please know that myself and my family are and will continue to be there for you in the days, weeks and years to come. We love you so much and our hearts are hurting with the news of this loss.
