“Ken was an avid outdoorsman. He found peace spending time in nature. He loved life and was always up to telling a good joke. He also loved to eat; he tried all types of exotic food. I always said the passion for eating came from us having a mom and grandmothers who were outstanding cooks. Although he has gone before me he will never be forgotten. Love you forever Boo Boo.” – Missy
