Not sure what to say?

Ken was a great friend that brought love and light into all of our lives. We always enjoyed the many engaging conversations with Ken on pretty much all imaginable topics. Ken was a deep thinker, and his wisdom and life experiences were important guidance for our entire family. We feel the tremendous lose, however how fortunate were we to know Ken and benefit from his beautiful legacy.

Your father was a special father figure to You, Chris and your Family. Sonny and I always enjoyed the bon fires with Ken and Diane. He was a Special Man.

My heartfelt condolences Diane and family.
So many wonderful memories of Ken.
God Bless and comfort you all
Love, Debbie

My sister Holly said it best, but I’ll try to put a few words together too. Grandpa Ken is woven into all my best childhood memories—up north in Glennie tubing down the Au Sable River, days on the lake, school plays, graduations, holidays, and so much more. He always made sure we felt welcome and loved; he showed up for us. I’ll never forget the year I got that elusive Old Navy fleece for Christmas (probably thanks to Diane, but we’ll count it for him too), or how he and Diane hosted the best...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My deepest love goes out to my family, as we all grieve and celebrate how (grandpa) Ken enriched our lives with his presence.

Ken was a pillar of our family. He taught us the value of bonding & strengthening our family connection with celebrating our time together. My innumerable, beautiful memories of lakes, boats, bonfires and beer are because of his devotion to our family’s shared joy with each other.

Few families gather for the sake of having fun, he recognized...
