Linda & Family,

I have known Ken since the good old days at Malden High School since we both played in the Malden High School band. He was such a fun kid to be around. Very mature for his age. After High School we kinda drifted apart but a few years ago we re-connected & I can't quite put my finger on how that happened but it was great to see both Ken & Linda. Ken LOVED going to the Clam Shack & we spent a pleasant day getting caught up on all the news that happened while we were apart getting married & raising kids - you remember that day Linda don't you? Ken graduated in 1959 & I graduated in 1960 but once Ken found out I was on my Class Reunion committee, he was my main source of info on MY classmates. Why, he knew more about MY classmates than I did! He would e-mail me with anything he found out about my classmates. We would talk on the phone about those good old days. Ken told me he was having medical issues but I, like you, never thought it was this serious. I'm sorry I couldn't of been more supportive but I have lost a true friend.I share your grief but am comforted by the fact that he is no longer suffering & is now with God who promises us all who believe in Him eternal salvation. We on earth have only memories of Ken now but rest assure he's under God's wings & smiling down upon you all. Ken, rest in peace.

Linda and Family,

Even though I worked with Ken for a short time at Information Resource Products, I enjoyed his warm character and sense of humor. He had a drive to learn as much as he could. When he was not feeling well he would still give it his all to be at work and always professional.
I could feel his sense of pride as he spoke of his family with a smile on his face. Hold onto your fond memories of a wonderful man. May he be at peace.

Ken's former co-worker,

As I try to type my thoughts here, my eyes fill with tears and a sense of sadness takes over me. But Ken had great spirit and strength. He faced the cancers, the surgeries and the after effect of treatments with an attitude that simply defied them. He was a good guy. Peace....Paul Harrington, Sacramento CA formerly of Malden.
