    To All Who Loved Kenny,
    Have had the pleasure to know Kenny for years. His 50th Birthday party, I attended was one of the best. I have a few stories about Kenny, and if you think they involve drinking or rough talk, you would be wrong. The stories I can tell you are of a man that apologized for talking rough in front of women, a man that held the door open for women, offered to carry anything for you, bragged about any accomplishment his family had, took pride in being a butcher, especially alongside his brother Pat., and would tell you he was,”Living the Dream.” How was Kenny like this…? Well, he would proudly tell you, “I just wasn’t raised that way.” True enough Kenny, God Bless.
    Love MaryJane

    My sincere condolences to every member of Ken’s family and friends.
    So many memories of snow mobile with sled behind it and tipping each other off. Summer games played outside like cat and mouse. I will always remember Ken as a kind soul who would do just about anything for someone. This kind of person doesn’t come around very often so consider yourself blessed if you know one or more. Haven’t seen him for years then just a couple of weeks ago I did see him at Hansen’s in the line for hot food and now I’m kicking my butt for not taking the time to go over to catch up with him.
    For all his loved ones he left behind there is no right or wrong way to mourn we just get through it the best we can and each person deals differently. My heart hurts for your loss of someone gone so young..
    Hugs Bonnie Ziler
