Hello Pat, Bobby and Kenny. I am very sorry for your loss and wish I could be there with you. Ken was a great big brother as I was growing up, I always looked forward to his visits. Later in life I would see Ken bombing around town delivering packages and he would always stop to talk and want to know how everyone was doing. Although we have not spoken for several years, I will sadly miss Ken as he reminded me very much of my dad. I wish you all the best and hope we can get together.
