Sherri, Jeannette, and Graves Family:
Thank you for sharing this incredibly good man with me. Ken took me under-wing in 1987 when my father passed, just as I hired into Boeing. I enjoyed much more than my fair share of Kenny's devotions and Love for his fellow humans. He touched my heart and Soul in ways that even now, 18 Yrs. after parting ways, are only just now reveled to me.
He lives-on, in God's Will... in my heart, Ken speaks softly to me and re-assures me that I am that Better man that he wanted see me to become. I followed in his footsteps, and He showed me the way...
Ken gave me some of the very best advice: I did claim the "A&P" Mechanic's rating. I did go out and work on the "Jets" on the flight line! What a fantastic path to growth!
I too retired from Boeing just yesterday. Now I will go forward into our community, and let Ken steer my Devotions in helping others.
I am SO inspired & humbled by Ken's Legacy! ...and now I am now one with the Mentor.
God speed Ken Graves, you will be sorely missed until the Final Reveille calls us up!
Harman "Mack" Middleton

We love you
