RIP Kenny. What a wonderful man. So kind and giving. A true Christian. I visited with he and Janet not long ago and I took him a Key Lime Pie. His favorite as my mother used to bake it for him. Was not her homemade but he was very greatful for it and I received one of his famous 2 page handwritten thank you note.
So very sorry Janet and family. I am sure he had a homemade pie waiting for him in heaven.

Our deepest sympathy to Janet and the entire sigafoos family. Ken was kind, generous, compassionate and one of the nicest people a person could call a friend. His cards were sent with love and he never forgot a holiday or our son’s birthday. We will truly miss him but will never forget him

We are extremely sorry for your loss! We were out of town and didn’t see the notice in the newspaper. We were stoked when friends told us about Kenny’s passing! You and Ken are special people that you rarely run across in life! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We will always remember Ken!
