Awe my buddy. I often thought about him and wondered where he was. I have some funny memories of him which I will cherish. He always told us I’m a golden glove champion. May he forever Rest In Peace. Sending my condolences to his family.

Ken will be very much missed. He was a wonderful part of our family here at Roundup Memorial Healthcare. His stories were always amazing and he loved having us call him “Cowboy”, he was the only one that the cowboy hat fit on and it fit him to a tee. To his family our heartfelt sorry goes out to you. It was our privilege to have taken care of such and amazing man.
