I will remember Kin as the friend I had the privilege and good luck to have"coffee with Ken" every Tu. morning for 10 years. Our thing was to meet at the Village Bakehouse and have coffee and a breakfast role and sit outside on their lovely patio. Here we would have our treat and chat. Ken had some fascinating stories about when he was in the Air Force during WW2. So, we would talk about that, his and my family's, some politics, my travels, his travers, and many other subjects we were both interested in. We never ran out of something to talk about. Kin would want to sit outside no matter what the weather - hot, cold, rain, shine. That facility now has fans and heaters for the patio but didn't fave those then.
I found Ken to be the most compassionate, generous, loving individual I had ever known
I will miss him deeply, John

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. He was a wonderful caring person and I feel blessed to have known him for so many years. Am glad I was able to visit him while he was in rehab a couple of years ago. He greatly appreciated the good care you provided over these past years and am sure you will all miss him. May God comfort you in the days ahead.

Penny and Jenny,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. He was a wonderful man - one of the kindest, most caring and compassionate men I ever knew. A quiet man but one you could depend on. He and my father were very much alike. I'm sorry I didn't make more of an effort to keep in touch over the last several years. He was proud of his girls, and I know he appreciated the care you took of him. Take care in knowing he is with your mom, and that you will be with them again one day.
