Ken was great guy and our family will really miss him. There were many get togethers at my parents home and it was great to reconnect each year at the reunion and he will be missed.

Dear Rowles family,
My condolences to you in the passing of your father. Ken was a buddy of my late husband and I. He went on many ATV rides with us from the P&O camp. We also would ride to his hunting camp. We had some good times. Don, Al, Ken, Larry and I. Ken and I kept in touch. I will miss our talks and visits. May you feel Gods peace at this time. Lori Laing. (Hudson, Oh)
