To all the family members, I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I did get to see Ken in the hospital and I enjoyed our short time together!
Ken was a great man and enjoyed him in the early years here in Ar.,
we always had a great time. His chicken he grilled and the potatoes we cooked and all was some of the best chicken I have ever ate.
His rison potatoe was really an amazing potatoe, did not know what to think about the rison but they were great! A lot of fun memories I have and will always remember Ken. I was so sorry I didn't get to see him after the hospital, his wife was a very nice lady and enjoyed my talk with her! May God bless you all as I am sure Ken is doing ok and looking down on us! Love to family Barbara!
