  1. Hi, I just want to say how much I adore Ken and Barb. I cleaned house for them before Barb passed away, only to find out they lived down the street from me when my kids were little and they used to babysit my two children. So we have actually known each other for years. Ken and I had many conversations about his past and things he has done. He was just an amazing person, yet so down to earth. Ken you will be sadly missed. I always felt love and kindness from you. You sure loved Barb and your children. Will see you again in the future.
    Love Phyllis, Lori and Andrew
