I met Ken in the early days (about 1985) of Contractor Logistics Support. We had a lot of laughs and even braved the lakes of Oklahoma where he drove the boat and I skied behind. We drank too much and loved it all. The world is a little smaller without his presence. It was a privilege to call him friend!  Lowell Weger (ret)

I first met Ken in Jr. High School.  We graduated together in 1965 and later we both worked at Tinker AFB.  He was such a nice guy and will be very much missed.  My prayers are with his family.

To all of Ken's family, I worked with him at Tinker and always looked up to him, (as well as at him).  He was such a wonderful friend and I know he will be missed by all who knew him.  He was my hero.

I had the honor and privilege of working with ken when he was one of my contracting officers in the B2 office.  I will always remember his honesty and dedication to his job.  I will, also, always remember his humor - it was always there just below the surface.  Please accept my condolences on his passing.

Worked with Ken in CLS and respected him for his patriotism and service to his country. His honesty made him a good guy. I talked to him last at the HWY 9 marina and enjoyed the visit. I would have liked to have attended his memorial service but had a medical conflict. Prayers go out to his survivors that are left without his physical presence but blessed with his memory.

Karen, I am so very sorry for the lost of your beloved Ken. May you find comfort in your sweet memories. Sandra Fanelli

Kenny and I met at Tinker as baby buyers over thirty years ago and became good buddies.  Kenny was one of a kind and we will forever miss his sweet laugh.  One time Kenny got into Jeffy's corvette and Kenny teased we'd probably have to give it to him since he couldn't get out of it.  There are so many things we admire and will miss about Kenny.  Most importantly, his love and devotion to Karen, how proud he was of Mitch and his career choice; how happy he was when Michele moved back to Shawnee with Adam and Drew, and how much he loved Chelsea, his fur baby.  Until we meet again, my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Ken will be missed by all that loved him.

I was saddened to hear that Ken had passed; I enjoyed working with him at Tinker and still remember when I left CLS in '98 that I bequeathed him my printer so he'd have his own at his desk.  He could always make you laugh and enjoyed a good prank!  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I enjoyed working with Ken thru the years.  I am so sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of your family's great loss.  I know he will be sorely missed.  He was one of the "good guys" and one of my favorite people in the Contracting family at Tinker.  I also enjoyed seeing the pictures.  Thanks for posting them.

Mitch and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss, may God sustain you through this difficult time.

Karen, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Ken will be greatly missed by all of us that have been touched by his life.

Karen, we are so sorry for your loss.  I know his smile
Will be missed by many friends and loved ones.

I am sorry to read of KJen's passing.  My prayers are with his family in this time.  I have fond memories of working with Ken for many years at Tinker.  He will be missed by his family and his Tinker friends.

Karen:  We were shocked and saddened to hear about Ken.  We enjoyed being neighbors for 16 years and I always had a good visit with Ken when I would see him at Tinker.  You, Michele, Mitchell, and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers.  God's peace to all of you.  Gary & Jeanie DeYong

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.  I so enjoyed visiting and laughing with Kenny at the class reunion.  Then a couple of weeks ago I ran in to Michelle and she reminded me she worked for us years ago.  Small world.  May God give you comfort and peace during this time, Linda O'Neal

Rest in peace, sweet Kenny.  Prayers for your family.  Theresa (Taron) Witcher

Adam, Drew & Michelle  - I am so sorry for your loss.  Your family is in our prayers.  God Bless you all.

So very sorry for your loss. Really enjoyed visiting with Ken at the clsss reunion. You are in my prayers Sharon Rowston Hall

I knew Kenny and his family from the time we were toddlers at the First Baptist Church in Shawnee. He was one of the happiest, friendliest people I ever met. We had lots of good times together. He was a person I was proud to call my friend. I am very sorry he is no longer with us. Glad I got to see him at our 50th High School Reunion. He made me smile.

Karen and Family, Levi and I from Shoreline Boat and RV Repair are so deeply sorry for your loss.  Ken was such a kind gentleman.  We wanted to send our Condolences and let you know our Prayers are with you always.

Kari Ryburn

Karen and Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ken was one of the nicest guys I knew. I had the good fortune to work with Ken as annuitants starting in 2010 until he got all of his credits in SS. If Heaven has coke machines, I know Ken will be checking the top for coins. He will be dearly missed.

Tim & Karen Mike
