Ken was one of the kindest people to me when I attended NBUMC. I met him and his wife at the 0800 service which I attended when I first started going there. We worked some of the work camps together and had so much fun. He was a special man.

Ken was one of the first people I met at NBUMC. Friendly, a great guy. We worked together on several projects not the least of which was Group Work Camps th church hosted. So sorry he left too soon.

I was surprised to see an email today from the Guest Book and realize that Ken has been gone one entire year. I am saddened all over again. Ken and Ann were two of the people at NBUMC who welcomed me at the beginning of my going there and always were nice. I loved working with Ken at the group work camps and the ham and oyster dinners. I miss that a lot. I know you miss him, Ann. He was a wonderful man.

Ann, so sorry I cannot be there on Saturday. My thoughts will be with you all day. Will miss seeing Ken's name on the GAP list for Honor Flight and will miss seeing him at the airport as he tried to get us organized.

My prayers are with you and your family.

We loved getting to know Ann and Ken at the Lake Shore Baseball games that our boys played! They were at most of the games for many years. Ken and Ann are wonderful people that love their family and make spending time together a priority. Our hearts go out to your family at this difficult time.

Love,

Ken was a long time and faithful member of NARFE Chapter 1519, Glen Burnie. As Co-President of this Chapter I want to say that our Prayers and Thoughts are with Ann and her family at this time of Loss. I wish I could be at his service, but I will be attending another service, that of my brother Gary who passed away in Florida. I wish everyone the very best and many wonderful memories of Ken.

Ann and family -- I was so sorry to heard of Ken passing. Even though I no longer attend NBUMC, I will always remember Ken from the 0800 service and working on several Group Work Camps together as well as ham and oyster dinners. You two always made me feel welcome there. My condolences to you and all of your family members.
