Dear Gene: Ree and I Offer our heartfelt condolences in your loss of Ken. We have many memories of all the times we spent together during our college days in Pueblo. I especially have many fond memories of days growing up together on the East side. Ken and John Briggs and I were sometimes called the three musketeers because we spent so much time together.
Dear Gene, We were so sorry to learn of Ken’s death. Our thoughts are with you and Greg and your family. We have lots of good memories of you and Ken when we shared our backyard fence and special occasions many years ago. Nancy and Charlie
