So sorry to hear about Ken’s passing. I got a text message from him on May 22nd saying he was having a cath done and his pace maker was kicking off. It was within a day or two of finding out I had some blood clots in my leg so we did not get to visit him in the hospital but I texted him back a quick note. Was glad we were able to see him a few times this past winter and get his window fixed up. He left behind a lot of good memories from when we worked together at Food Lion. He was always a loyal friend. Our condolences to all of your family. Hope everyone is doing well. God Bless.
