We thank him for his volunteerism and contributions toward helping families in our community achieve a decent place to live. He will always be part of our family.
Sorry to hear about Ken. Another great one from Epiphany lining up in God’s kingdom.
I am sorry. I always looked up to him. He seemed to have a pure heart. A good man.
Ken was an awesome man. He is who I think of when I think of a great church man. I remember him from my earliest Sundays in East Avon. Blessings to his family. Cherish your wonderful memories of this wonderful man.
Sandy, Bill and family, and Andy and family,
Words can’t express our feeling of loss. We know that he is walking with his savior in heaven just as he did here on Earth. Praise to the Lord!
Love and Hugs,
Jack and Barb
