I have so many wonderful memories of Ken and Jean, as we grew up together at Affton Baptist Church. What a wonderful loving couple they were. I will miss Ken, and will be there for Jean. She is an amazing women! In many ways she was my idol growing up. Love you Jean!!!
I am so sorry to read of Ken’s passing. I remember Ken and his garden. The times I visited, it was immaculate, colorful, and so beautiful.
