My dad Bill Person and Kenny were cousins I remember calling Ken when dad passed away to let him know and he shared a story with me that the two of them drove dads car 110 mph right after dad got out of the service. Even though there was a bit of an age gap I know my dad thought a lot about both Ken and Martha. Sorry for your loss.

Dear Family We so wish we could be with you today. We have been and will continue to pray for your grieving hearts. Ken was a loving big brother to me, and I enjoyed speaking with him by phone our entire adult lives.. He loved to talk about his past experiences and knew how to to tell a good joke. When we were kids we did not get along very well, but I remember the summer before he left for college he started spending time with me and after he left, he wrote to me. I would tell him about the few dates I had and he was happy for me. I've been very proud of him in his work life and how he earned his CPA. At that time he already had, I think, four children and a full time job. He would take the kids out on Saturdays and go to class and study evenings. He passed that exam. Many years later, I took the CPA exam after going to school full time and taking a review course. I passed, too, but under much easier circumstances....two children and no job. That exam was tough, and after that experience I realized what a smart man he was. Ken also had a great memory for things he read, especially about the civil war and specific battles and how they were won. I had sent him a newspaper article about a month ago about the battle of Antietam, a place he still wanted to visit. Ken, I love and miss you so very much.
