Beverly Williams and her husband Richard, Mildred Young and her husband Michael, Gale Morency and her husband Dan, Cheryl Wolfson and her husband Dan, Noreen Ward and her husband Maurice and a brother William Lamb and his wife Susan; as well as many nieces and nephews and one grandson.

Kenneth was preceed in death by his parents, Kenneth H. Lamb and Maude Mildred Johnson Lamb Colangelo; his brothers Michael F. Colangelo; Charles and Thomas Hastings; and sister Susan Hastings Dupres.

His sister Mildred Young and his niece Cathleen Burgess, cared for him in his final days, with the wonderful staff at Hope Hospice. We thank them for their loving, caring attitudes and compassionate ways. We would also like to thank the staff at the KOA Campground on PineIsland for their help and support during his stay there. All of his fellow campers were always mindful of his needs and always willing to help. You took him to doctors appointments, grocery shopping, put his shed together for him, power washed his camper, fed him, and provided numerous acts of kindness. Christ said, “We express love for our fellowmen by serving them.” We would also like to thank the Mullins Memorial Funeral Home owners, Shannon and Sheila, and staff of Cape Coral, Florida. They were all very sensitive to our feelings and emotional needs, making out long distance funeral arrangements much easier on the family than it would otherwise have been.

Mullins Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Cape Coral, is entrusted with final care.
