Ken was my Foreman at Fox Tractor for 8 years. He was the best Foreman that I ever had. I loved and respected him greatly. I remember him telling me that he almost killed himself by working so hard the Summer that he cut all of his own wood to build his house.

Rosemary and Family,
It is painful to hear of Ken's passing, but joyful to know that he is with the Lord. May that also bring you comfort. Ken was a great man and a wonderful friend. We will always remember our garage sales and visits we had together.
God Bless the day we met.
