  6. To all the family
    I know he was a kind and loving man through my great niece and family. my sympathy to all Prayers are lifted 

  7. When I was in the hospital in 1985 having my gallbladder removed, I woke up from surgery 2 days later to find family and friends in my room to visit. Kenny had come by the day after surgery and brought a single yellow rosebud in a vase with a beautiful bow, the card said 'Get well soon, Friends, Kenny'. He was truly a royal gem, a thoughtful caring person and great friend. He will be missed. I can imagine the stories he and Bud Schumer are sharing in Heaven . . . The Angels better have boots on, lol.
    Prayers for strength for the Murray and Basler families. May God's love give you strength and help you find peace. 🙏 ❤
