I am so sorry to hear about Ken's death at this late date. I worked with Ken at the Souderton office for a number of years. He was absolutely one of my favorite people, always upbeat in spite of all the obstacles the paper faced, etc. I am grieving for him now. Sincerest sympathy to Gretchen and his family.

I was so sorry to read about the passing of Mr. Zepp. I met him briefly about 5 years ago. I was portraying Mrs. Claus at the Sellersville Winterfest and at that Sellersville Museum. He took different photos of me and I inquired about purchasing a photo.
He personally came to my house and dropped them off and said "He could never charge Mrs. Claus for the photo."
I was so touched by his kindness and thoughtfulness. He was a great photographer and person. Please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Ken was a wonderful person. He was a terrific photographer and a wonderful friend. I will look upon our memories from the many sports photos you took of me and my siblings growing up, my sister Bethany's wedding photos, of course my wedding photos. We will all miss you so dearly and cherish every moment we had with you. May you rest in peace with God by your side! Love you and miss you forever!

To the Zepp family--Very sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Not only was he a great local photojouranlist, he was a true gentleman. He always went out of his way to provide coverage and get the job done regardless of the overtime or hours required that he was not compensated for.I was honored to work with Ken from 1998-2005 and he did a super job for the Perkasie News-Herald. My sympathy to you all-he will be missed.

This truly was sad news. Ken was a wonderful person. He worked with my Mom at the Souderton Independent, and I know she loved working with him. His family and friends are all in my thoughts.

Ken was a wonderful person! He always took the time to photograph the students at our school in various activities! Ken always planned certain times of the year to visit the school so he could highlight the students – whether they were making gingerbread houses, arranging flowers or preparing for a prom. He was such a kind, caring person and I certainly enjoyed working with him! We will miss him!

I grew up hanging out with both Kenny and Chaz. Those memories of playing ball at York Avenue and legion baseball at Weaver field are all fond memories that still linger to this day. Those were the good "ole" days.

May God Bless.
