A Treasured Brother...


Ken,
In spite of all the trials and tribulations of your family life during your childhood, you were always true and supportive to your brothers, Glenn, Tom, and Pat, and sister, JoAnn. Like any any siblings, I know you had differences too, but you were always there to lend a hand. I'm especially appreciative of all that you did for Glenn...from putting a roof over his head along with Pat when he moved to California at the age of 14...hmm...that couldn't have been easy when you were only 24 yourself, being by Glenn's side at our wedding, helping Glenn and I finance our first home, standing up as Kayla's Godfather, and being a great uncle to both Julia and Kayla. Not to mention doing our taxes every year! 8-) Damn...now we are going to have even more reason to dislike tax season! Whenever you came to our home or we met you for breakfast or some other occasion, you always provided fun and laughter, or calm and advice when we needed it. And, especially when Glenn needed an older brother, a father figure, a friend...You were there! I'm sure that you still are...but we will miss your smile and hugs. We love you!
