Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





October 28, 2010

I was hired by Mr. Redlin back in the late 70's and I worked with him for over 15 years and after his retirement and he moved to San Juan Capistrano he still came to visit. I am very fond of Ken and Elaine Redlin and I am very sorry to hear of his death. He had enormous energy and as tough as he had to be at times he was a very caring person to his staff and this community. My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Redlin and all of his family. Rachel Hernandez

I was neighbors with the Redlin family. I will always remember Mr. Redlin's whistle....as he called his children home for dinner.
He was a wonderful family man and neighbor!
I know he will be missed.
God Bless

I worked with Ken at the City of Corona in the mid-1980's. He was always kind and respectful to me and others. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children.

I remember Mr. Redlin since I was a very little girl at church. He and his Mrs. Redlin were always very kind to me. I know that my parents both thought very highly of him, my Dad being a city employee also.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

God Speed Ken
