Nancy Schuman wrote a sympathy message

“My sincere condolences to all my senior cousin Ken's family and friends.. For some reason I never understood, being his 11 years younger cousin, he was always known as Pete in our family , and i was proud to hear our family discuss his military career. I know he was a good citizen of his town, an active supporter of Scouting, and the patriarch of the family. His passing, after a long and admirable life, leaves a gap in many lives, including mine. Nancy Schuman”
