Kenneth was one of the most talented people I have ever known. He previously worked at the hospital as a pulmonary technologist, former music shop owner, a master carpenter and was a perfectionist in everything he did.

Ken could play musical instruments and write songs. He was a combat veteran in Vietnam, a battlefield medic…surviving explosions, bombs and bullets. He never told me what wounds he attended to, but I figured if he wanted me to know, he would have told me.

He will be missed by his family and all of his friends, and I’m so fortunate and privileged to have been able to call Ken, my friend.

We spent many Sunday’s in church together and afterwards shared lunch at KFC/Taco Bell, Ken & Mary’s, or Shelby Cafe with his wife, Bonnie and my wife, Debbie.

I’m also including a YouTube video of the Battle of Cam Lo, by Ken to honor Larry Maxam who was killed during this battle. 

Kenneth wrote and sings the song in the video.

Again, Kenneth wrote and sings in the following video.
