My condolences and prayers to Ken's family. Ken and I both worked at Possum Point. His knowledge, helpfulness and great sense of humor brightened the many years we worked together there and at Birchwood. I'm sure Ken's waiting, with a smile in a heavenly Hawaii, now.

I was there when my sister Robin  first met Ken. He was a wonderful brother-in-law, always thought of others and could make you laugh. I would come visit from Maryland and my sister and I and the kids would all leave at night to go visit other family members and Kin would look at us like we were crazy. I cannot believe y’all are going out this late at night. Lol He was a great husband to my sister and a great dad to my nephews and niece.  I will always remember him towards the end of life standing at the kitchen counter, chatting with everybody with his elbows on the counter then he would go back to his room where he would watch his TV.  Will miss you a lot and love you always.  Your sister-in-law.

To My Papa:

I really love you so so so much, and I miss you so terribly. I miss your daily calls and texts. I miss our drives to Colonial Beach, and your family tree facts. You supported me through school and theatre. Mom told me about how you were telling her a while ago that you thought I was gonna "be somebody one day". I'll try to be. I'm finally getting my breakthrough for theatre, and you aren't able to see it. It hurts. You really wanted to see me drive one day... I'm sorry you won't be able to. I know how much you were looking forward to it. I'm so overcome with grief, but I'm trying to stay strong for mom and grandma, I promise. I haven't been letting it show too much, not even when we were at the hospital. I'm so hurt that it feels numb. It just doesn't feel the same anymore without you. Now you're just a memory. I won't be able to hug you, "give you some sugar" (kiss on the cheek), or make a teasing joke about you and hearing you chuckle under your breath in the kitchen. You were always so tough in my eyes. From how Mom described you from when she was growing up, you were a dad I wish I had. In a way, you really were my dad. You're my grandpa. You're the man I was closest to. Everytime I think of dolphins, the ocean, or the navy, I'll think of you. I want to say more, but there's too much. I love you. I miss you so much. It hurts.

Love, "your girl" Morgan.

To my teddy bear brother, 

Missing  our frequent phone chats around 11:30am during the week discussing gas prices, pork butt prices...lol, or our weather conversations.

Certainly didn"t want you to leave us all this soon!!!!!

Thank you for looking out for me, and Jimmy K as we were growing up , and Momma also!!! 

Your quote "but anyways" until we meet again. 

LOVE YOU NINNY 

I worked with Ken and Possum Point. He taught me a lot over the years from being a trainee I have always considered Ken as a good friend. You will be missed.

I worked with Ken at Birchwood. I always enjoyed talking with him. We had conversations many times running into each other around King George. I will miss that.

Good friend and brother going to miss him and our conversations .
