Ken was such a thoughtful caring person. He went above and beyond to help out my elderly friend Dot, who lives next door to him. He was a godsend to her. He will be sorely missed.

Kenny, or as I sometimes called him, Ken Ken,from his baby days, was beloved by his family and friends. I cherish so many hysterical and wonderful memories. It's not often that you know someone from birth to death. Kenny was my baby brother. He was an adorable kid,who grew into a very delightful man. One of the funniest people I have ever known. Kenny lived his life to the fullest extent possible. Kenny was fully committed in every aspect of his life. If he loved you, you knew it. His hugs were exceptional, his care and concern was evident in every conversation. Kenny was a charter member of the "Best Fathers, Ever" club. Jeremy,Justin and Jared were always his top priority. Knowing Kenny and having him in my life was an extraordinary gift. I feel a huge sense of loss, yet the essence of Kenny will always be a part of my life. Ken taught us a lot, he was a passionate man. Thank you, Kenny for all the lessons you taught us. Thank you for being in our lives. You left us too soon. I believe we'll meet again on the other side. Lovingly, Your "Sissy", Nancy
