It was a sincere honor to visit and be with Ken and his lovely wife, while on my travels to Florida from Pennsylvania. Being the Worshipful Master of Kingsbury Masonic Lodge in 2015, I drove to Ken's home and introduced myself, whereas he and his wife welcomed me in with warmth and brotherly love. We sat, talked and then agreed to go to a local Masonic lodge for fellowship for the evening. Neither he or I had ever been to the lodge we attended. We were welcomed as if we had gone there forever. A great night we had. For only meeting him once and learning who he was turned out to be an inspiration for me. His brother Mike is just as caring and kind. I am happy that I know Mike and that I knew Ken. Farewell, my Brother. Rest in His loving arms in comfort.

I have a ton of great memories of uncle Ken! I remember you shooting off fireworks off from the dock at the lake to taking me along on some of your interviews with some of the greatest boxers to ever fight. I still have all the autographs you got me from Larry Holmes to Ray (boom boom) Mancini and Billy Soose. I'm really glad we got together for lunch when we came down to Clearwater a few years ago. You're in a much better place now...so enjoy the ever after you deserve it. You were one of the greats. I'll miss you...until we meet again. Love ya, Pierre

Dad, I miss you every day. Your presence is missed. I am Grateful you are now in peace in a better place. Where all the limits on your life are now gone. You will not be alone there and you can enjoy that sweet reunion.

I will remember you always as the only person I could have a real difference of opinion and we agreed to disagree. That happened many years ago. We agreed on much. I miss your advice especially now. But I will pray on it.
