Ken is still missed and I especially remember all the golf games and his competitiveness. You always were in the fairway. What is the fun in that?

Ken was a friend of mine. He hired me when I was down on my luck and couldn't find a job. For that, I'll be forever grateful. Ken and I were in agreement on political issues. I also played some music for Wendy's wedding in Eudora. It's my luck to have known him. May he rest in peace.
