This picture sums up Ken for me

From the skating rink of MF 2007 - always smiling, unpretentious and willing to help anyone out anytime.

agree Tony

Ken was one of those rare individuals

the world really WOULD be a better place if everyone were like him


..L.T.A.

Thank you Tony. I run out of superlatives when I describe Ken.

Only those who are supremely confident and completely mature within themselves can show true humility like Ken did there, and so many times both here on the boards and in the years I worked with him with trade associations.

....and that smile....

Oh damn I miss this man more each day

I read some of those comments from bawb's link, it had comment after comment of things Ken had done that I had no clue of.

I knew he was kind and considerate but only in his death have I found out aout all these things he did not for recognition but because he had compassion for others and for animals.

Not only would he done lots of time to the animal shelter's and provide them with inventory but he also gave the homeless man across the street a winter coat blanket and boots and a tent, he also anonymously paid for the cremation for a couple's son that had couldn't afford the cost but needed to leave the state.

The man was amazing!

I feel embarrassed and ashamed I'm no where near the man he was. I hope to use him as my inspiration to give more, care more and do more for others.

Im embarrassed and ashamed for you as well Rich.

But get real, you've helped out countless members here over the years.

What you choose to do with your animals out in the barn is nobody's business buy yours, the poor critter and the LBJ.

LOL Fooker!

The man was on a whole different level. The time he donated, the money he gave, was amazing and I could only hope to someday be like that.

My wife has that kind of heart and compassion but even she is no where near Ken. I think it was awesome he did so much but let so few know it. Sneaky guy, that's why he smiled so much, he was getting away with it!

 

[Mikey P]

"Touche!"

Was the appropriate response..

I also think one of the reasons Ken always had a big smile is because all his giving and helping is what made him happy and feel good. Awesome Guy.
