Uncle Ken was warm and kind and will truly be missed by anyone who knew him. I have two fond memories about him I'd like to share. I'm the youngest of his five nieces and one year we went out to Tucson to visit with Uncle Ken, Aunt Jean and our cousins. I was pretty young then and to me Uncle Ken seemed really tall and strong. When we got to Tucson I remember looking way up at him and he had this big grin going. He held out his arm and let me swing on it like a monkey. My other fond memory and probably the thing I will miss most about him were his incredible hugs. His embrace was strong and genuine and he just made you feel like you were the most important person to him at that moment. In all the years I knew him those hugs never changed. His legacy will live on because I hug my little one exactly the same way and someday when she is older I'll explain why. Right now cousin Reggie, Carol and little Lauren you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you guys!

My father-in-law was the most gentle, soft-spoken man I ever met. He was a devoted Lutheran, husband, father, uncle, and grandfather. I was happy that he could live with us and spend so much quality time with his son and only grandchild. He never complained, and he will be sorely missed...

We were sorry to learn of yours Dad's passing, we had renewed acquaintance with him when we became members of the South Camp Gideon's. I knew your Mom well as we worked together at TUSD. Both were wonderful individuals. We will keep you in our prayers. Waldo & Donna Anderson (Tucson, AZ)

Uncle Ken was my God-Father. He was also my mothers brother. Because of the distance I was never able to get to know him and his woderful family as well as I would have liked to. He came from a loving family with great brothes and sisters and parents. I am sure that the family he was with last( his son daughter-in-law and beautiful grand daughter will miss him tremendously). He was a very kind gentleman and tremendous relative. I wish I would have had the opportunity to have him get to know my family better. They would have loved him. I'm sure he will be missed.

Ken Degner was one of many Tucsonans who worked loyally at hughes aircraft company earning retirement and the friendship of colleagues and a place in the sun. Most of us will go to our grave with close family and a few friends acknowledging us in prayer and memory. I didn't know Ken personally but feel a bond to him from that common struggle--going to work each day, trying to be productive and still retain a personal life that had other horizons.
I choose to pray for ken and his immortal soul. it is the only gift i can give him now. some people have told me that is a pricless gift. but i wish i'd met him anyway in friendship. the very least i will do is remember his sacrifices and that he was a co-worker of ours.
