I knew Ken as a very honest ophthalmic equipment sales and service professional for 30 years. I am glad he was able to retire, but saddened to learn he was taken by this horrible pandemic.
Rest in peace and say hello to Mike Duncan for me in Heaven!

I was in the Air Force with Ken. What a great guy! I heard He was on the Coast in October and asked a friend about me. I am sorry I didn't get to see him. We both worked in the Hospital and since He outranked me, He kept me in line, which was difficult. We had a lot of laughs! RIP Ken.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ken through my son Hunter. He was a great mentor to my son and my son called him his adopted grandpa. Hunter loved sharing the same birthday as Ken. And enjoyed going with him on some of his repair trips for his business. And mostly bowling together. He will be missed.
We had so many fun years on Power Circle at Keesler AFB in Biloxi! It was fun watching our boys as infants and then grow up together for a little while until we moved to Texas the end of 1979. Matt was 4 and Amy was 9 when we moved and became civilians. I still remember the first time we had a crawfish boil at our house on Power Circle, and I discovered I liked crawfish!! Who knew? And I was born and raised in Louisiana - just north Louisiana! I keep having to tell people in Texas that I am a redneck, not a cajun! If Heaven doesn't already have a bowling league, I'm sure you can help them correct that! And I picture heaven as having clouds to ride around on - surely you can create a cloud that looks like one of your pet hot rods! And try to figure out how our fur babies can live up there with us too, would you please!? Until we all meet again, I know there will be many friends keeping Cathy, your sweetheart, very busy and helping her heart gradually be lighter by remembering your love of all those years together!
Ken Thank You for being such a good friend to Dad. You always made him laugh. I loved bowling against you in the summers and remember how much we laughed when you decided it was time to bowl left handed. Little did we know you would great at that too. We are still in a state of shock that you are actually gone. Keep bowling those 300s!
My dear friend. My heart brakes for everyone left behind. I know you are in a safe place are watching over all of us. Say hi to my dad and enjoy the reunion with your mom and dad. All my love.
Cathy, boys and family. So sorry to hear about your loss. I know that Ken is resting peacefully and comfortably right now and I hope the family can find comfort in those thoughts and the great memories you had with him.
My condolences to Cathy and the rest of the family. I had the pleasure of meeting Ken a few times when bowling with my mother, Katie. He was a great character to know and made Mom look forward to bowling her best because she knew Ken would hold her accountable! He will be deeply missed.
It was always a pleasure to bowl with Ken at Broken Arrow Lanes. I know he will be missed greatly on the leagues. Until we meet again sir. Blessings for comfort and peace in your family.
