    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
