Monticello, AR Wednesday, June 22, 2016 Martha, Katy and Cody, So sorry to hear of your Dad, Grandfather's passing. I saw him Monday morning mowing out the ditches in front of his house. He was such a capable person and could do a multitude of things. He loved his hunting and fishing and was good at cooking his game. He didn't waste things. Not only was he a dear friend and first cousin; but also a good neighbor always willing to come to your aid. I will miss you Cousin Kenneth. R.I.P. dear friend. My prayers are with you family as we all miss his earthly presence.
