Even though I did not know Ken for very long, nor did I spend a great deal of time with him...upon my first encounter with Ken in 2011, I felt immediately he had a very charming, witty and inviting soul...i am deeply sorry for the family's loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Olafson family. To Ken and Pat, I will forever be grateful for your generosity and welcoming heart. Pat, you have a beautiful family to all those I have had the pleasure of meeting. Big hugs to Pat and Val!!!

We look back to you living in Warren and the fun times we had together over the years. Ken and you, Pat, stood up for us when we got married and Val is our Goddaughter. When we had a chance to meet again, it was always like we'd seen you the week before. Blessings to the family who will miss Ken's sense of humor and delightful smile as will we. Hugs - the Omdahls
