Ken and I had started working at bmw just days apart from eachother. And even though we have not known eachother that long we made that connection through our cars. Ken would always come out to the shop looking for me just to talk for a few or tell me some crazy thing he did. He was deffinatly a character, always happy even if he was cursing you out. He had his problems as we all do but whats amazing to me is he still came in and did everything he could even with all his problems. Ken was NEVER NEGATIVE about the situation at hand and always tried to make it work… My condolences to the family. He was a great guy and will be missed by many.
We are SO very sorry to hear this. Jim has not been flying much but just recently started back and we were just speaking of Ken. We are away for the weekend or would attend the services. Again we are saddened to hear the news.
Gail our sincere condolences at this difficult time. You all our in our thoughts and prayers

Sending my heartfelt condolences to all of Kenny’s family. My husband is fighting a similar battle. I saw Kenny about a year ago and we talked for quite some time. When I explained to him what was going on with Marty, he offered encouragement, helpful advice, and messages of hope. I have shared Kenny’s inspirational story many times with my husband. He was one of the most resilient men I have ever met. Rest in peace, Kenny. ❤️

Very sorry to learn of Ken’s passing. Condolences to the family
So sorry for your loss Kendra.
My heartfelt condolences to all of Kenny’s family. I have fond memories of Kenny from Ridge Road School. I ran into Kenny about a year ago and I was telling him about my husband Marty, who is enduring a battle similar to Kenny’s. Kenny, with all that he has been through offered words of encouragement, advice, and the message to give my husband, “to keep fighting for his family.” Kenny stressed how his family is the reason why he endured and found the strength to continue his fight for as long as he did. Kenny, I have spoken fondly of you many times to my husband. Your courage and strength have been inspirational to all who had the pleasure of knowing you. I am praying that Marty finds the strength to fight as long as you have. Rest in Peace. ❤️
We will always remember Kenny as such a happy, funny guy in high school. It was so wonderful catching up with him again at our 40th high school reunion. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robin and their children.

Robin, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. I went to high school with you and Ken. I was so sorry to hear that Ken had passed. I remember Ken as a true gentleman back then,,always laughing, and was always kind to everyone,,,especially the kids who were bullied. He had a big heart! I don’t remember anyone saying a bad thing about him. I also sorry to hear about the loss of his parents. Such nice and warm people. He is with them now and all the other angels who have gone before. Take comfort in your many years of memories, and know his sprit watches over you and your family.
