I have known Ken for a very long time because he was married to my cousin Nancy! He was a very quiet man, but one thing for sure he loved his family very much! I know the love of his life Nancy is really going to miss him! Ken go ride high to that mansion in the sky! Janice Ellenberg Mathenia
Condolences to Nancy, Kathy, and all the Family.
My first memories of Kenny go back to just after he and Nancy married. He was a happy and healthy young man, with a smile seemingly always ready.
I stayed with them for a short while the summer of 1970, when I was just starting as a Co-op at McDonnell-Douglas in Saint Louis. I spent many of my off-hours playing with and entertaining Kathy, who was just a happy toddler at the time.
Many will miss him, I am among those.
But he is released from the travails of this life.

Kenny was a quiet man who was greatly loved by his family that is how I saw him. He was married to my cousin Nancy Jones . I always enjoyed going to there house to see the Grote’s! When I would call them and I couldn’t get them I would always sing them a made up song that didn’t make any sense Ken also Nancy would laugh at the song that didn’t make any sense at all. Ken really loved his Nancy the love of his life also his daughter and grandson’s. Kenny go ride high to that mansion in the sky!
