Carl – Our condolences on the loss of your father.
Carl,
I know this is a very hard time for you and your family. May God give each of you comfort and peace.
Our sincere condolences to Kenny’s children, family and our friend Helen Tucker. We are so sorry that we cannot be there in person.
We have both known Kenny since the late 1950’s, but have really become close in the past 5 years while wintering with him here in Florida.
We will always have fond memories of Kenny being a good friend, a good neighbor always willing to lend a helping hand, a good golfing buddy and one we could alway have a good laugh with.
Kenny you are loved and will always be missed. May the Lord keep you in His care.
Sharon,Mike,Carl,Valerie,and Sandra. Our deepest sympathy to you and your families. Ken will be missed by all who knew him. A Country song says ” It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind, It’s what you leave behind you when you go. Ken left some very special people behind. It is always sad when we lose our father, and we are never really ready to give them up. The one thing that we do not have to give up is all the wonderful memories that we have, they will last forever. I bet Ken and Tommy have a Tee-Time for tomorrow morning. I wonder what St. Peter’s handicap is? Love to all, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim and Karen.
Sorry to hear about Uncle Kenneth’s passing. A friend of mine from Moundsville told me a few days ago. It took me awhile to find this site. I wished I had known…would of made the effort to get to the furnal home. Cousin Laura Lee Bland Hennen
