Dear Wayne, Danny, Mary and your famies. We we’re saddened to hear of your dad’s passing, but happy to know he is safe with the Savior he loved and served. “Uncle Ken” was one of a kind…always upbeat, encouraging and kind. I remember with fondness the first Sunday he and Wayne came to our home for lunch after services at First Baptist of Asbury Park. There and then a storybook relationship began leading to the marriage of Ken to our Aunt Evelyn. I remember how they opened their small apartment to our family in transition from Middletown to Eatontown and Ken’s generosity buying the Stewarts our first Sears and Roebuck family tent. So many wonderful memories of my Volvo driving “Uncle”. We share in your sorrow but rejoice in the hope we have because of Jesus. Wishing you all God’s best.
