I knew of Ken for quite a while. When he was with a food service co. and I was with a grocery co.we’d cross paths from time to time. Then one day he’s employed with the same co.i was and same Dept. We talked often,worked together joke around and have a good time. We’d laugh about the “Three Stooges “. He was proud of his God,church and family. Yes, he really liked his Ole Ford and his bike.He was a good guy and I know he will truly be missed.Rest in peace. Sincere condolences to Debbie, family and friends.
