Ken was an old South Sider he played on the Blue Streaks ,and we use to run all over the SS and had great times as kids, he was a great kid and fun to be around with a great sense of humor,RIP Kenny
I am so saddened to learn of Kenny's passing. He and I went all through Center Avenue School; in fact, I think I had a crush on him in those early years! He was such a nice guy and he has a lovely wife, who I feel so bad for. They had such a great marriage and I'm sure she has alot of wonderful memories. My heart goes out to you, Elaine, and your family. May he rest in peace.
Ken and I ran around while we lived on the South Side as Gary Poole mentioned. He was always a nice guy and fun to be around. I'm saddened to hear about his passing. BIP Ken
