Thanks SO much for sharing those lovely comments and memories, Patty. You helped make that transition in his life much easier and he enjoyed your visits, meals together, sharing the newspapers, etc. and spoke of you often. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you, but I was most grateful you were there, and know he missed your company when you moved. He had quite a life with many stories to tell… glad he had such a good listener, and thanks for letting us know. Paula Leighton
I have known Ken since his move to Decatur at the Lincoln Co-op. We spent allot of time talking and eating together. He was funny and a joy to be around and we loved to hear his stories. I feel very blessed to have known and spent time with him.When he had flown back from Washington from seeing the veterans wall ect. he showed pictures and shared his experience with me. We both were crying and he said finally I got a thank you for my service. That meant so much to him.He had a great pride for his family and missed his wife greatly. So many of us there will never forget him as he joined in our cookouts and always had a wonderful story to tell.He will be missed!Patty Bridgman
I was so blessed to have known this man for a couple of years but he was so much fun and had so many good stories I will always think of him and smile. Patty Bridgman
