Ken BUBB

I took two years of Latin at Santa Rosa Junior College, taught by Ken. He was a masterful teacher, letting students engage with each other, discussing the subject, and eventually and effortlessly guiding us back to the lesson. He was a kind man and the best teacher I ever had. I'm lucky that I knew him.

Still think of you often. It was truly a blessing to have you in our lives. We miss you.

Jill and still think of Ken often. A couple days ago we attended (by Zoom) Dona Hardy's life celebration. We first met the Hardies in the very early 70's when Noel and Maureen moved to Santa Rosa. The Schmidts, Ken and Donna, and Jill and I used to meet with Donna and Jerry at their home to socialize, theologize, enjoy each others company. Special times.

Ken and I sat next to each other at Brunnerdale since we were the youngest. While he was one of those along with Al Spilly and "Truck" Dineen who raised the curve in our classes he was as down to earth as you could get. Just a nice guy to be around and associate with. No airs. No pretenses. His ending up doing all he could to help the less fortunate fits him. He did waht he could to make the world a better place for his having been in it.

Ken fue un gran ser humano, irradiaba amor y alegría a los que lo rodeaban. Lamento mucho no haber podido acompañarlos en su momento
Gran amigo mío y de mi familia

My first memory of Ken was in 1948 at Precious Blood elementary school in Ft. Wayne Indiana. We were in 3rd grade at the beginning of the year. But early on that year Ken was promoted to the 4th grade, an early sign of his uniqueness and talent. He was good in sports. We played on the PB tackle football team and the basketball team. Ken was the star of the basketball team. I know this because I watched him play for two seasons as I sat on the bench. In his 8th, my 7th, grade we were captains...

Ken was my CCD teacher in Ohio, and a friend of long ago. I went to his ordination, he went to my graduation. He was a light then, and clearly remained one throughout his life. All touched by him were blessed.

One of my all time favorite teachers! He made Latin fun and accessible. Sorry to hear of his passing.
