It has Taken me this long to accept the fact that he has left us. He was my teacher, confidant, and friend, I was mentored by many Elders, but he always knew the right words, to keep me following the right path in my life. I will miss his wise words and his strength of character, he truly was one of a kind. I was honored to sell for and with him and Waterfall at many powwows, it was very much a learning experience. Since he crossed my son Windwalker has done many prayers and will miss him terribly. We ate many Pizzas at their house. Rest in Peace Grandfather of many. Carole

Back in 1999,I met Chief StrongHorse at the Mohawk trail pow wow. His kind heart saw I was struggling with life. Things were bad because of divorce. One fine day, Kenneth showed up at my house with 3 rolls of quarters & laundry detergent, to take me and my laundry for 3 kids to the laundry mat. (I had no washer/dryer, car, phone)
Later the next month, he asked to get Xmas gifts for my kids. We have been pen pals ever since. He didn't have to help this poor girl who may or may not have native blood, but he did. Though my children do.
I adopted him as my grandpa, since I didn't have any grandparents. I will NEVER forget you Chief StrongHorse of the Narragansett nation. Fly with the angels

My wife and I express our deepest sympathies to Chief Stronghorse's family. I met the Chief almost 30 years ago at a music jam session. Over the years the country string band I was in, the American Country Band, played several gigs with Chief. I recently reconnected with him during a visit to the nursing home. I hadn't seen him in several years and he remembered me like it was yesterday! He was a solid musician, who loved his heritage and his country. In short, he was a wonderful man, and he will be missed on this earth, but welcomed with open arms into the great string band he has now joined in heaven. God Bless you Chief.

My sympathy to family and friends. He was a joy to so many who knew him; I, but one, among the multitude. May the angels and many spirits watch over him.
