Sue and family-
Sorry we were out of town for Ken's Wake and Funeral and couldn't be with you. He was a good guy, a friend, and will be missed by all who knew him. We always enjoyed the St. Matthew Golf League and the times we got to golf with him.

Dear Susan & Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Ken's passing. During a difficult time in my life, I became friends with Ken and through his wisdom, thoughtfulness , insight and caring about others, he helped me through it. He was very proud of his family and spoke of all of them often. Our lunch times together will be missed. Thank You for sharing Ken with myself and so many others he has helped. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now and always. God Bless!!!!

While I never met Kenneth, his son Daniel has been a longtime friend and colleague. I wish to express condolences not only for myself, but also for any and all of his other friends from the Bristol Renaissance Faire who may be unaware of his grief.

Susan and family:
So sorry to hear of your loss. We hope he did not suffer and was able to enjoy his beautiful family up to the end.
Mom wishes she could be there for you, for she so appreciated you making the trip to Denver for Dad's funeral. But she doesn't think she can travel.
We love you Susan and just want you to know that our prayers and thoughts will be with you and Ken on his final resting day. I'm sure God will take good care of him.

We fondly remember when 'the kids' got married. Ken's comment: "That's my son." Bob's response: "That's my daughter." He was such a proud Dad -- of his sons, and of his daughters-in-law. When the kids were performing, he was beaming. And we remember his pride in his Irish roots -- dancing the Irish jig when the Whiskey Brothers were performing. His smile and feet were 'twinkling'. And we can picture him with Dan and Carrie's two sons on his knees -- a loving, proud grandfather. Ken, you gave us fond memories -- thank you. You will always be in our hearts.
