We are going to miss you Ken! Memories of earlier years in Redding when you and Olie worked together, and the salmon fishing trips in Trinidad. Also phone calls, sometimes at 3am to share your latest joke and just to let us know we were on your mind. Thanks for never losing touch with us. And for letting us see some of your butterfly specimens. Amazing. We'll see you in heaven. Love,Olie and Cylinda

My heart is breaking and I am sad inside. Thank you for your love, advice, being a great dad and grandpa, for being a loving man to mom, for the tons of laughter and so much more. Thank you for the bug education as your grandson is a bug boy. He is now teaching others about nature. Every time we see a butterfly we will know that is you. Comfort, love and sympathy to my mom. Dad/Grandpa we love you, we adore you. Love you always, your daughter Cindy and grandson Colton.
