Kenny was a wonderful friend and a inspiration to all. Sorely will be missed. Every time he saw me, he called me "Brownie". Prayers from Gail and I for the family.

Dear Kenna Jo, David and family,

Your dad lit up the world in an exceptionally beautiful, warm, kind, and generous way. No one could put a smile on my mom's face faster than Kenny. She absolutely adored him. Mom said she was shy all through her education years going through school with Kenny, but that he would always make her laugh. His friendship was sublimely important to her. She was thrilled as was I that Kenny and family attended her last birthday at age 96. I can still see Kenny and mom laughing it up right now. How wonderful to have spent so many years in Harrington enjoying life and appreciating all that was good about small-town living. Kenny was an extremely accomplished man, and everyone I know respected him immensely. He was in a special class on his own. While we all mourn his loss, I can see him up in heaven with mom looking down upon us with a grin. Love never dies. He was surely one exquisite, beloved man. May your happy memories of dear Kenny sustain you, and may peace filled your hearts very soon.

I am saddened to learn that you’re mourning the loss of your dear loved one. However, it saddens our God even more. No doubt, you have many fond memories which will resurface from time to time. Because you do have memories, it certainly shows that Almighty God has memories as well. Therefore, with full confidence you can take comfort in knowing that he longs to restore perfect life to all those in his memory (Job 14:13-15; Rev 21:3, 4). Please accept my condolences at this most distressing time.

I first met Ken when the Harrington Library opened in 1978. He would stop by to say hello and visit . We worked together - the Historical Society & Library - to plan the first Heritage Day, and I am so pleased to have seen him at Heritage Day last summer. I feel truly blessed to have known such a fine gentleman.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
- Christine

Hi, I got to know Ken through the Senior Center, Asbury United Methodist Church functions, and the Harrington Casino.
I really looked forward to seeing him whenever the opportunity came up. He was always in a happy mood and we kidded each other a lot.
My wife Barbara and I want to express our condolences to everyone in Ken's family.
We will most certainly miss his company. God Bless Everyone.
Erik and Barbara Liimatta.

So sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm going to miss seeing him every year at the fair. Some of my favorite memories are of the time I spent each summer during fair week with you and your family and the times we all spent on Lewes Beach. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Betty Ann

It was such an honor to know Ken. I will always remember the smile on his face when he rode in the Fourth of July Parade in a Corvette sponsored by the First State Corvette Club. A Big thanks goes out for his service to our great nation, and his participation in the American Legion. May he rest in peace.

It was such a pleasure to meet Kenneth as his driver in the Veterans Day Parade. I still have the photo of him and I cruising down State Street. We had a fun day. I then again had the pleasure to seeing him again at the Harrington Race Track where he always cheered on for the "Housewives of Delaware" each week we raced. We had a win and I invited him down for a winning photo with all of us. He was so excited and that smile would melt you. I seen him again and presented him with a winner photo with all of us. He could not wait to go to breakfast the next day and show off his picture with his friends.
He will be missed, God Bless his family
