    If you hadn’t met Ken…..then you truly missed an opportunity to meet a fun, outgoing, personality. He brought fun and laughter to our card group every session. He was loved and will be missed by all of us that knew him at Palm Creek. Ken: our next impromptu song will be dedicated to you in loving memory. To Julie and family: we share your grief.

    I was so lucky to have called Kendall my friend. I will miss his sharp mind, great conversations, and wicked sense of humor. A “bump” of bourbon will not be the same without his company.
    He was one of my favorite people!
