I know I only knew Ken for a short time, and in that short time I was introduced to the most amazing family so loving and so caring, We spent many weekends on the golf course with Ken which in fact Ken was a very good golfer. I am so Thankful to be a part of the Chestnut family. We are going to miss you Ken. Always in our hearts ♥️
Ken was a great neighbor & friend. I have fond memories of playing guitar with Ken & Rick & they even put up with my terrible singing. Before I retired I’d come home to find that Ken had mowed my grass for me. He was such a giving person. My heart is heavy as I have lost a true friend but God has gained an angel. Hugs & prayers for his family.
