Donna, What a shocker! I was out of town the whole month of July and was saddened & stunned to hear of Ken’s passing. Although I haven’t seen the two of you for a while, I WILL miss him. He was a warm, caring guy, a strong Union member and loved you, without a doubt. He’s teaching the angels to race and build fast cars now. You’re in my thoughts during this tuff time. Call me if ya’ need anything, anytime. Pat Breneman
