Not sure what to say?

Dear Sharon and family,
We just found out about Ken's passing. Shea, who remembers Jordan was on line with a friend in Danville and told us of Ken. Larry had the pleasure of meeting Ken while coaching Stefen on an AAU baseball team. Stefen was a true gentleman and we know he learned to conduct himself from his dad. Susan and I will always remember Ken as a quiet,gentle man who carried himself with great dignity. We so enjoyed the fun times spent with you(Sharon) and Ken while we...

My thoughts and prayers with deepest sympathy go out to Ken's family. I had the pleasure of knowing Ken professionally, several years ago on some projects he worked on in Fairfield. Ken was an extremely competent and professional engineer. He was, most of all, always friendly, cordial, and gracious. I am saddened by his passing.

Sharon and Boys-
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Ken's passing. Please know that you and the boys are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I knew Ken professionally through his work with the Mountain House new town, and although this is a considerable legacy, I was overwhelmingly touched by the greater legacy Ken had built in his life with his wife, his children, and the wonderful work with young people in the community.

He will be missed by everyone, but has left a very lasting gift, and a great pathway for all of us in helping build a better community.

I'm glad to have known him!

I was a team mate of Ken's on the U.C. Davis Baseball team and like many of us, Ken's friendship impacted many of our lives. I was fortunate to see Ken at a SRV football game and catch up a little. My prayers are with the Tappin family and everyone who knew Ken as a husband, father & friend.

Sharon and Family -
I was shocked when I read about Ken's passing! My deepest sympathies to you and the boys. I'll keep the Tappin family in my prayers.

Sharon and family,
I want to extend my heartfelt sympathies to you and your children. May God continue to embrace you and keep you strong during this time of great loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kenny, I knew you all your life. I was close by when you were born, (I always told everyone you were named after me). Herb and Donna were my best friends, we did everything together. I had the privilege of watching you grow up to manhood. When the family moved to Vallejo, I visited often. Vacaville was next on your moves, didn't get to keep in touch as we did in the past, however, Herb kept me up to date on all your activities. You are quite a man, an outstanding individual. Your...

Sharon & Family,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. The boys and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.
