He was a wonderful friend to my dad.
He helped daddy with the tractor and the garden. He and daddy probably talking about tractors and such. Bill e. Bishop
May he rest in Heaven, and I give thanks for his service to our country.
I so enjoyed working with Ken at InterConnect. He’d come and plop down in my office and we’d chat a bit, Ken made the work environment better. I quickly realized that he was a wealth of knowledge…and over the course of many lunches with Ken I learned quite a bit about HVAC systems. He saved me literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars in repair costs. I remember once, my AC went out at the house and I asked him a question and he just said, I’ll be right over. What a guy! I learned from Ken also, that you don’t arrive at Railhead BBQ after 11am…unless you want to stand in a long line. Learned it the hard way. “If I tell you that you can milk a , Doug you better grab a bucket” – that was one of many Ken one-liners. Glad to have known Ken Morris. MY condolences to Debb and the family.
Ken made working at InterConnect fun. He was an all-around good guy. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be married with Mike today. For he was the one that introduced us together. We will keep him in our prayers.
May God keep him close
May God let him watch over
His lovely wife and children. Sincerely, Mike, Fred and Madison Rands
