    It was an honor to have you as a brother-in-law. You always had a smile on your face and worked hard at everything you did. I will always remember your smile and laugh. You were taken from us way to soon. You will be missed and forever in our hearts.

    To Ken’s family,

    I’m so sorry to learn about Ken’s death. His passing is certainly quite a loss. We were teenage friends from Livingston. He was a great guy and we had a lot of memorable time together. Prayers for you to have strengths to endure the difficult times ahead, and may fond memories help to ease the sadness.
