I met Kenneth while researching the Oscar Baker family who was his grandfather. Kenneth shared pictures, stories and family memories. I so appreciated his help. We had continued to chat by email for several years. I will miss hearing from Kenneth and the news that he shared. May God comfort each one of the family at this time of loss.

Dear Kelley family,
Daddy saw the obituary in the paper and brought it to my attention. He I and Lynette send our deepest sympathies. I immediately thought of some of the best fishing trips I’ve ever been on, how your dad laughed and helped me up the riverbank when I tore my pants all the way down.I’ll always remember him with the biggest smile on his face and a very warm heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all

We will miss Kenneth and always enjoyed our time spent with he & Arlene, especially the songs that Kenneth would sing along with Joe Baker & Me(a little off tune on my part,mom always wondered why I did not inherit the talent from the Bakers). We offer our sincere sympathy to your families.
