Goodbye old friend, though we haven’t seen each other in ages, I still have memories from almost 60 years ago.
I’m sure you’re son in law will miss your middle finger.!
Ken was a man of fairness and integrity who guided his staff through the demanding tasks of food distribution on a large scale. He had a ready smile and a forgiving nature. I will miss him immensely.
So Sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you during this difficult time. Rest in Peace Kenny
