    I will miss Ken every time I play a Johnny Cash song on my guitar at Wildwood. He often talked about how he was at the concert in London, third row I believe, when Johnny proposed to June. My wife Marie used to enjoy doing the jigsaw puzzles with him, too. These are the fond memories we will have of Ken. I’m sure you have many more.
