Tributes & Memories

Ken, I still remember the day my sister brought you home to Arkansas to meet the family I was 7 at the time. You immediately became my hero and have remained so for the past 61 years. Thank you for all those years of love and kindness, and most of all for always being the perfect solemate for my sweet sister. With Much Love Peg

I have many warm memories of my Uncle Ken. Growing up it was always a treat to go see Aunt Dot and Uncle Ken. Uncle Ken always had a kind smile on his face and in his heart. He never spoke unkind of anyone. I will miss you Uncle Ken,I will forever treasure my many memories. Love Always Lisa Lynn
