I had to think hard about what I wanted to say here. There are way too many memories for me to share so I will go with a very few that stand out to me. I love my dad because of the values he instilled in me. He gave me my discipline and sense of honor. He taught me not only how to compete but how to lose AND win, with honor and character. I remember mom and dad visiting me in Germany and Dad and I smoking two of my friends in basketball. Even after they switched up. Neither one could cover Dad. Too far back he hit his set shot. Too close he went around them for a score. And this was when he was in his 40s. I don't think Dad ever missed a single game I played - despite traveling for his job. He worked two, three and four jobs when we were little yet I never thought we were poor. Still don't. I do think he was a bit selfish in taking Tinker with him but maybe he knew Mom would slip on the stairs if she still had to take Tinker out at night so I can forgive him that. I love and miss you Dad - give Tinker, Coco and Princey a pat from me.

Dear Loretta and family
Sorry to hear about Ken's passing. I remember when we would be at Varie/Shorty's and you all would be there. I
remember thinking if all the Ken's were like your's and my Uncle Ken Grap I wanted one like that too. Well I ended up marrying a Kenneth as well. Just wanted to let you know even though I was just a kid he made an impression on me. My prayers are with you and your family now and in the days to come.

Dearest Ken, I know you and Tinker are enjoying frolicking around in heaven. My memories will keep me content but with a big empty hole in my heart. I love and miss you.

.....golfing..."watch out for the water Ken" ....( sound of golfball going in water, Dad unsuccessfully "trying" to hold back laughter )...playing basketball, football, golf, tennis, etc etc
CARDS CARDS CARDS, camping camping camping.
Working the garden with Dad,...cutting down trees with Dad, Lee and Jeff on days much like today, Dad would make breakfast, then all hop in Lee's Blue Chevy truck...and get to work.
One summer I would be waiting every day for Dad to come home from work with baseball and gloves in hand, I was a terrible and wild pitcher, but he caught me, every day.
Sadness and pain of knowing Dad has passed, also feeling very blessed and fortunate to be his son.

Since Kenneth married my sister, Loretta, when I was eight years old, he has always been a brother to me. Ken, Loretta, my husband Neil and I spent many vacations together -- Lakes of the North, Disney World, whitewater rafting in West Virginia and whitewater canoeing in Michigan, camping all over, a trip to the Bahamas, and so many, many more. My heart is broken at losing him but I will have hundreds, if not thousands, of wonderful memories of a wonderful, loving, and caring true brother.

Since Holly and I spent most of our childhood in town, a lot of time was spent at Grandma and Grandpa's house and the pool. I loved going over there because the teasing and picking on Hol was the best. I was always welcomed and will miss Grandpa telling Holly to be quiet or be good. He was a wonderful person and I know the family will miss him.
Love, Kirsten

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Ken was such a wonderful, loving , caring father and friend to all. I'll cherish the times I went along camping with you and how he treated me like his own, even calling me "funny toes"! Ken will truly be missed, but never forgetten. My prayers are with you all.
