Very sorry to see this
Very sorry to see this obituary in the news but it did recall thoughts of the Patton boys during my years at CASH. Ken Patton had the satisfaction of knowing he lives on in the persons of his two sons, fine young men, ornery and full of fun in those days, who left behind smiles and good memories with this teacher. My wife Judy and I offer our sympathy to Kenny, Lenny and all the Patton family.
Mrs. Patton, Kenny, Lenny and
Mrs. Patton, Kenny, Lenny and family:
I was so sorry to hear the sadness of Mr. Patton's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Losing a husband and father is devastating and there are no words of comfort but time will help you all to heal.
With our Deepest Sympathy,
Dear Shirley, Kenny, and Lenny,
I can't tell you how sad I was to hear of "Big Kenny's" passing. He will always be Big Kenny to me. He was the one who made all the boys play with the only girl (me) in the neighborhood and taught me how to throw a baseball and catch a football. He was always ready for an impromptu game and got all of us kids to learn how to play as a team. This world could use more role models like him. He will never be forgotten.
Sincerely,
Carol Leitch Fuller
