In life we often meet people who inspire and just bring a feeling of joy. Ken was that to me. Especially when he rescued our AC Moore stray cat and then found a forever home for it. My sorrow in his passing is only relieved by knowing he is among us in spirit.

I have known Ken since Woolworths Neshaminy Mall, so many fond memories over the years. Ken was well respected. My father always talked about how dedicated Ken was and that his time working with Ken in Neshaminy was one of his favorites in retail. In the past 24 years of working with Ken, I know what My father was talking about. So sorry for your loss. Ken will be missed. Thoughts and prayers with the Engel family. Paul Kuzemka

I am so very sorry for your loss. I work at the Lancaster location of A C Moore. Each time He visited our store, he was always ready with a smile and kind words. He was a thoughtful and caring man. He will be sorely missed by all those who knew him but most especially by his family. My deepest condolences to all of you.
