Shared Navy Days together and family ties that stretched through the years. Great times shared that will not soon be forgotten. Thoughts too for Richealle that kept Ken on track and was an anchor for her family. Both gone too soon, but Ashley, Michael and Aaron can take comfort that they are now looking down on them together and will still be caring forever.

For a large portion of my childhood, you and Richealle were like second parents to me. I have so many memories of weekends at your house, celebrating family milestones together, and all five of us kids getting into trouble while our mothers gabbed for hours! Although our families changed and grew distance over time, you will always be in my memories as a caring and fun man who forever is on my roster of the people I admired and looked up to as a child. I wish I could be there to tell you goodbye as you embark on your next journey.

Hugs and love to Ashley, Michael and Aaron,

Sincerely,
Emmy

Ashley, Michael, and Aaron. We are deeply sadden to hear about the loss of your dad. Your dad was a very kind, quiet, and thoughtful man who loved his family with his every being. We will always remember your parents fondly and have wonderful memories of the many times spent with you all during the 10 years we were neighbors on Kenilworth Dr. You continue to be in our heart, thoughts, and prayers at this time. Always remember, your parents are not gone, they live in your heart forever. In the days ahead, be strong and a great source of comfort and support to each another. Love and cherish each moment, for each moment is a blessing from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Ken, you are now reunited with your Heavenly Father, your beautiful wife and soulmate Richelle, and all of your family and friends who have gone before you. RIP our good neighbor and friend Ken.
