Ken Manz

Ken was a great friend at Berkeley. We spent time at the fraternity together. He was happy, smiling, kind and upbeat! He built a catamaran we took out on the bay and sank together! He hadn't figured on needing to dry out the wood first! Got towed back in! I'll never forget his smile and laughter, nothing but sunshine behind those blue eyes! Lucky to have known Ken.

Ken was one of the finest human beings ever to walk the earth. He was a genuine authentic Christian and possessed a gentle, caring spirit. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a belief in the goodness of people. I am very proud to have known him and to have had him call me his friend.
My heart goes out to Kris and the family.

Ken was probably the only Marin County Library staff member who was truly beloved and appreciated by all the other library employees. Because he made deliveries to all the branches, he was known by everyone on the staff for his kindness and his willingness to help with on-site problems. He never said no to a request for a helping hand. I believe he was Employee of the Year once, but that was comparatively faint praise. I was so sorry to hear of his passing; he was unique.

I was saddened to hear of the death of my high school classmate Ken. My memories of him are of his handsome looks and sweetness. As I read the guest book notes I am pleased that he had such a rich life. Please accept my sympathies for the loss of your dear Ken.

Dear Kris and Family,
We are so sad to learn of Ken's passing. I so loved his smile and the warm way he greeted everyone at St. James....You felt so welcome even before you set foot in the church. Such a gentle spirit..So grateful for the times we got to be with him

Kris: I can not express how very sad I am for your loss. For the 2 short years I have know both Ken and you feels like a life time of friendship. I will always be here to stand by you, hold you, help you, and love you. Love Wendy Martin RCIA 2008
