KZ was a gentle soul and a man I admired for many reasons. My first contact was to telephone and ask for permission to marry his daughter. Subsequently he and I had a rewarding 25 year relationship of friendship and mutual respect. I loved the man and will miss him greatly.
*So sorry to hear this, prayers for the sisters brother Gary and his family!! ❤️
I had one brother. He was 23 years older than me with nine min between. My dad always said that he would never raise one child alone so he raised two alone,, me and my brother. My brother served in the Marines in WWW2. When he came home from the war my mother ask him “Do you want to see your little brother? He’s in the back bedroom im the crib. My bother was a great guy. I loved and respected him always but Ken and I were more like brothers Love and my real brother more like my dad. I love you Kenneth Edward Zimmerman, Rrst in peace.

Billie Ruth, Becky & Brenda Son-in-laws & daughter in law & all his beautiful Grand kids. Such a Beautiful, loving family Ken has. So thankful I got to visit with the entire family a couple of times this past three months. We were able to tell many stories that Ken & I shared together from Football, double dating, Apartment living in Dallas.
Missing out on the Buddy System in the Air Force. Tying steel working together. Partners in business, trip to Las Vegas. We got to know each other really well during this time. I can say I have never known a better person than Ken. Honest, kind heart, soft spoken, never a angry word. So easy going. His family has enjoyed a very special Husband/Brother/Son/Dad/Granddad. We will all see him again one day & when I see him we are going to race the 100 yd dash & see if we still tie at the finish line. I bet we do. Love you Ken and your family
