I will miss my friend of 50 years very much. Kenny, was like a brother to me and I could always count on him for many things. I will miss his candor, smile , his love of sports (especially Duke Basketball) and the many trips to the beach we shared. RIP till we meet again and rejoice with our Lord.

We were so sorry to hear about Ken’s passing. He was a great store manager to us at 576. We had some good times. We will never forget how much he loved Duke and the beach. RIP until we meet again!

Kenny was a very good friend of me and my brothers for many years.I also had the pleasure of having him as a client in the automobile business for many years also.I always enjoyed our discussions about family and sports..although I was not a Duke fan.He had a great sense of humor and always enjoyed picking his vehicles up from his stores when he worked with Food LIon.Have not seen in a long time but I know we will spend eternity in Heaven and that is the best thought or memory I will ever have,God bless the whole family as I know they will miss him greatly,also, God Bless... my friend
