To my friends, my dad's friends and chili companions,
.
I'm sad to say that my father passed away peacefully late Saturday nite, 1/31/09, at his retirement home in Sterling, Va. My brother Don and I were there at his side. He did not suffer and passed away peacefully. The cause of death was complications resulting from Parkinson's disease.
.
His wishes are to be cremated immediately and then a family service and burial at Jefferson Barracks Military Cemetary in St. Louis. I will be working on those plans, and tending to the zillion things that must be done over the next few weeks.
.
I also want to apoligize to you all for not staying in touch as I should, the rapid decline of the last few months, especially recently, as simply kept me out of touch with just about everyone. Please accept my apologies.
.
With much gratitude, Ken Ware (a.k.a. Kenny)
