Ken Reeves

[Phil Reed]

I started my business Dec. 1, 1983. Met Kenny at an Iowa swap meet in April 1984. My very first customer for lifetime!!! We both had the same love for the 409 engines and their cars.
Kenny has throat cancer about 3 years ago. He was told a year and a half ago that he was clean of the throat cancer. About a month and a half ago he wasn't feeling right so he went back to his doctor. After all the tests were done.....he was told he had cancer in his whole body!!!!!!!!! Candy and I went up for a visit. We had a great visit!!!!! Then last week he had a stroke and that was his downfall. Passed away last Thursday.
Only 3 people on this forum knew is Paul Stensland, Ken Walsh and Gary Jesperson. But most of you do know Kenny......he was a master restorer!!!!! A lot of you saw my pictures of a red/red 63 Belair 400HP 4- speed 4:11 posi. Kenny restored that car!!!!
Need to quit for the evening but have pictures of his 3 cars that have all ready been
sold. They were beautiful!!
Later.......

I am similar to Phil in having known Kenny & Debbie I met him many years ago, bought parts from him and talked about restoration and many other things including going to Late Great Chevy shows -he was at Great Bend with his silver 62 SS 409 Hardtop
I am missing him and so sorry he is gone -I am at a loss for words

Godspeed Kenny. Met him at the first reunion. We hit it off as we were both engineers for the Union Pacific Railroad. He will be missed.

Rest in peace Ken... It is difficult to find the words that reflect what we feel when someone passes. Unfortunately, we are loosing all the old timers that know a lot about these cars, and their knowledge is lost forever. Condolences to his family and friends.

I remember the 62 silver impala ss at the gb convention, but did not meet him so I would not know him . Sorry to hear about this. There have been several at that convention that have passed since. Sad.
