Granice,
I played golf and volleyball with Ken. We both retired from Honeywell. I was his partner for the last pickleball game he played.
He was one of the nicest men I ever met. You could not find someone who knew him who did not like and admire him.
He was also infamous for an ability to place a shrewd wager
My condolences to you and your family.
Dearest Granice, Brian, Heather and Kim,
You are all in my heart and prayers at this time. Just hold on the wonderful memories of Ken, and he will always be near you. I know you will see him again.
With love, Tana
Brian, Heather and Family,
May beautiful memories give you strength at this very difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Much Love,
Mike and Kristi xo
I played Volleyball with Kenny in early ’70’s+ and
always enjoyed his demeanor,
wry sense of humor, fun, good sportmanship and being
a quality guy.
