  18. So sorry to hear of his passing. My mother (Mary Jean Horn) is taking it hard, as she was his godmother. She has talked about Kenny since hearing about his passing 2 days ago. She remembers him vividly, (she’s 91), and said again this morning “The last thing I heard Kenny say was at his mothers funeral, he spotted me sitting and said Oh! Mary Jean!” May Jesus wrap his arms around your family, and comfort you at this most difficult time. Blessings from Burtchville, Michigan.

    Carolyn so very sorry to hear of Ken’s passing, I have such great memories of all of us at the Swiss Village mall when we started out. You and the boys are in our prayers. Rest in Peace my friend.

  20. Very sorry to hear of Ken’s passing in the Free Press this morning. I had stopped by for a visit at Solli’s few times over the last few years to stay in touch. High school was a long time ago for us, but it was always a pleasure to reminisce about the good times we had so long ago. Ken had a very kind heart and will be missed by many.

  21. From the Clear’s, We are so very sorry for your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with your family. He will totally be missed!!

  22. Carolyn, Kyle and Kevin

    I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the excitement when Ken opened his first jean shop in Gaylord. So many nice people in the shops and was the coolest place around. Since moving, I have always looked forward to stopping in to shop, hear what’s been happening with the family and the downtown area and loving his selection of items whether dresses, jewelry, etc. He will be missed.

  23. Carolyn, So sorry to hear of Kenny’s passing! You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Ken was an exceptional friend to us. He embraced my sister Ann as if she was his sister or the daughter he never had and she always thought of him as one of her best friends. Litterally she wears the Solli’s Casual Wear sweatshirt {she has two} every single weekend and was always proud to have him recognize that she was wearing it. Ken will be missed! Many good wishes to you during this really sad time.
