Ken I only knew you as a customer at Cedar Springs Mill & Supply.I sold you straw off my farm too. I always liked the way you come on as a tough guy. I figured you out right away and realized you were a pretty nice fella. You were not very good at playing the part. Your smile gave you away. We will miss you at Cedar Springs Mill and your memory will always be with me. Sam Gebhardt
