I have been friends with Ken and Holly for over 35 years and, during that time, there were several standout moments that I shall remember about Ken. First he was a family man. He loved his mother and it was obvious the feeling was mutual. He loved Holly there was no doubt about that. He always had her back, standing by her through thick and thin. Likewise, he relied on Holly for pretty much everything. It worked. And, when Megan came along, well, that was just the icing on the cake for him. Both were strong willed and while there some battles when they disagreed, in the end, there was no doubt they loved one another to the moon and back. And, then, came the fur babies, who he loved with an unwavering passion. His family was complete.
Secondly, I remember how he hated to eat, but loved cooking shows and trying out the recipes on the rest of us. We learned to love them all. And, finally, I remember how much Ken cared for other people. Many times he bailed me out when I needed it and for that I'm eternally grateful. He cared for the underdog, for the people, less valued. And, typical of a Libra, he cared for what was right and what was wrong. These were his values. This is some of what I will miss in Ken. RIP Ken, you earned it.
