    I am so very sorry I could not be there to say my final goodbye to Ken. As I think of the great influences in my life, Ken was certainly on of the most important. I will always remember, as a young kid in the neighborhood, how he hired me to help clean up a set of apartments on Woodview Lane at the age of 14. I was just starting to get in trouble so it was what I can now see as a fork in the road of my life. I remember that day like it was yesterday. That was the first of many days I would get to work with him over the next 6 years. While the work was a challenge, what I didn't realize was all of the things he was teaching me about working, business and life in general. I took the lessons with me when I left for college. To this day, as an electrical engineer, very removed from those times, I find myself saying and doing things that I learned during those early years with him on the job site. It really was the most important part of my education. I am very saddened by his passing. Please know I am thinking of you all. - LS

I am so glad that you and he had the chance to visit when you did, and we got to see him. I hope to see you soon. You are in my prayers. Love, Cheryl

    Aunt Louise, I want to send you and my cousins my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Uncle Ken. I haven't seen you all since Dana's wedding, but vividly remember how dapper my Uncle Ken looked that day. He was so happy and joyous that day and always generous and giving of hmself. I am grateful that you and Uncle Ken visited my mom before she left us last year. I will carry fond memories of him forever in my life. My best to you Aunt Louise. Steven Gawczynski
