Mike, Marie and family

I am so sorry for the loss of your father, husband, and friend. You all so fortunate to have such a good man in your lives.

I have so much respect for people like your dad who were farmers. One of the most important jobs in the whole world!!! Think about all of the people he fed from his daily hard work.

His spirit is in you and will be with you forever....

Sincerely,

Marty

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ken during his many years with the St. Lawrence County Planning Board. A man blessed by both wisdom and humility, it was always a pleasure to engage with - and to learn from - him.

His sense of community service, his eagerness to always lend a helping hand and his willingness to share his knowledge serve as a great example of what it means to be a friend, neighbor and citizen.

I am grateful for his time among us and want to thank his family for allowing him the time to be so engaged in community.

With warm regards and deep sympathy -

Keith Zimmerman
Director of Planning
St. Lawrence County, NY
