A beautiful tribute to a life well lived. 
Thank you for your service. 

My dad used to make the most delicious banana pancakes. To this day, every time I eat them I remember time spent with him as a child. 

I'm Bob Bigham. I was a 2nd Class communications electronics technician, like Ken back then. We served together  on the USS Camden in the 70s during Vietnam. We built an aquarium in the electronics shop to house the fish we caught while snorkeling. We took turns hanging a bucket over the side of the ship for fresh water since we had no electric filter. Thank God for his humor & friendship. While stationed in Long Beach, we traded vehicles. I had a motorcycle, he had a bright yellow muscle car. He loved that car! We connected twice after I got out of the Navy, once in NJ then in Mryland in 1982./ I was excited about my civilian prospects then  while he was still excited about being in the Navy. My prayers go out to his family. BobHBigham@gmail.com

I would like to share my memories of ken grimes. my name is walter "wally" branlund , I was a signalman 2class  and served with ken on several deployments in the gulf of Tonkin off the coast of Vietnam, we became such good friends. in fact there were a bunch of us in operations that hung out off duty, scuba diving overseas,photography, visits to hong kong,singapore, phillipines,and sasebo japan, my last visit with ken was there .his laughter and wit has stayed with me to this day.i,m so thankful for those memories which will stay with me forever. to his family and friends, my condolences.As ken would say..."Go Sooners"!!  wally branlund    walterbranl@aol.com
