Deepest Sympathies.
We have warm memories
Charlie & Marilyn Hoessle
Our deepest sympathy and condolences on Kenny’s passing. When we would see each other Ken would always take the time to talk about just about everything with me. Always considered him a great mentor. Still remember him once saying lets invent something. As a young boy I thought of him as the “candyman”. Peace be with you Marine. You will be sadly missed by all. “Who me?”
Joe & Janet Sydow and family
Jeff, Greg and family. I am saddened to hear the news of Ken. I will always remember Lake Tishomingo and how much he enjoyed having me as a guest during my visit with you and how accommodating and cordial he was, not to mention that he was the master of the BBQ grill ( I see where you get your bbq skills). Pork steaks were on the menu I’m sure. Love you guys.
I have never met a finer gentleman then Ken. We will really miss him.
I will miss you Ken. My business partner and great friend.I will always remember you.
