Dear Family, Larry and I were so surprised and saddened to hear of Kenneth’s passing. He was a wonderful man. We grew up together in Buffalo Cove and a kinder person never lived. All of his family were precious friends. I know Claude and Evaline were so excited to see him. May your precious memories of him bring you peace. Larry and Irene Ledford Tuttle
