This breaks my heart! Kenneth was the only person in the New Apostolic Church that was kind to me. Although it is technically a cult and I was only there for a couple of years, Kenneth treated me like I was a good friend. I'll never forget the hours we used to spend in the senior dining room playing (pretend) penny-anti black jack. I'm grateful for those games because it taught me, at an early age, that I can NEVER gamble! He always won & I always kept saying "double or nothing!". If we had been playing for real money, God help me
! That has always stuck with me so, since then, I have never put myself in the position where I would be able to gamble. I also remember a time that he wanted McDonald's and was going to treat so he let ME drive his car to go pick it up. That was AWESOME! He was a really kind-hearted, decent guy. One that I was honored to call my friend. I'm so sorry this happened to him. It's sad when the good one dies.God bless you Kenneth!

Ken was a true friend! I remember him stopping by my house when he would see me out front washing my car. I remember many conversations. He was an all-around good guy.
