For many years he was a part of a group of friends who went camping each summer, and was also involved at Wayne Street United Methodist Church in St. Marys.

August 14, 2020 at 10:05 amSo sorry for your loss. Ken was always so friendly to me. I didn’t see him very often, but when we did happen to cross paths he always made it a point to stop and say “hello”. My sincere sympathy to all of you.

August 16, 2020 at 7:53 pmGoose was a classmate – though quiet, he was always a gentle soul. I remember his laugh. My condolences to you all, especially Ron, and I will miss running into him at Bremenfest in the future.

August 18, 2020 at 12:05 amOur sympathies to Ron, Sheryl, Gary, and their families. We knew Ken for many years. He, my brother Jack, and their friends would play football, basketball, and even paintball with and against his brother Gary, myself, and our friends. Although we were five to six years younger and more often than not got destroyed, it was always fun! Ken had the misfortune of usually getting injured in the first five minutes of any contest, causing him to sit out the rest of the game. I don’t think he cared about that, though. I believe he just liked hanging out with the guys. He shall be missed!

August 26, 2020 at 7:15 pmKen and I were friends for the last 44 years. What can you say about Kenny; he was just a nice guy… We saw each other often from our late teens to our mid thirties. He would often visit Scott Bushman and I in Columbus, and i would always see Kenny,as part of our gang, when I made my many visits to old N.B. .Kenny was also a fixture for many years at our annual cabin/camp outs composed of N.B. and Columbus guys in the Hocking hills. I will never forget how Kenny entertained the swinging singled of governor’s square apartments ,circa. 1979, when my dad turned his apartment over to us for Dale’s bachelor weekend, he performd the coolest high arching forward flip off the the diving board that simply amazed the group around the pool. I remember how I enjoyed the hat performance so much, but I also remember the joy that Kenny felt himself, for he always had a broad smile on his face each time he amazed us. Time Marches on… Kenny will be missed…
