Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege of being a friend in Christ with Ken. I lived in Flag for a few years and met him at daily mass. Gentle, shy, kind, loving man. Rest in peace my friend. See you in heaven. Pray for me and my family please.

I just learned of Kenneth´s passing away and I want to tell your family that I am sorry for your loss. Kenneth was a dear friend of mine during my time I lived in Munds Park. I met him at Nativity Parish where my parents were members for about 22 years. We used to go to the White House in Flagstaff to attend many of their events, and to visit the Chapel there. Your cousins, Rita and Ed Gannon were friends of my parents, and neighbors of ours where we grew up with their sons and...

I want Kens family to know how much of a profound impact Ken had on my life when I was just a young child. I knew Ken from the time I was 6-11 and though its been over 20 years since I last saw Ken, I still think of him often and am so thankful he was in my life during such formative years. Ken taught me a sense of adventure and what true kindness looked like. He taught me about God and is a main reason my relationship with God is still strong today.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Ken Babbitt. I grew up across the street from him and he taught all the neighborhood children how to play kick the can under the streetlight. He afforded us years of joy for summer evenings. I will cherish memories of him tending his garden and cheering us on. My sympathy to the wonderful Babbitt family.

A true American ! Finally Gretchen And i could never thank him enough for a very small loan that he gave us so we could afford a downpayment on our first and only home in...

So sorry to hear Ken is no longer with us. He was a very kind and gentle soul. I always ejoyed talking with him about his train travels to Denver.

We are saddened by the recent passing of Ken Babbitt. 10 years ago my mom moved to The Peaks and we always enjoyed chatting with a kind man who we affectionately called Uncle Woodeye. We are certain Ken is now in Heaven and know his sweet spirt will live on there. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Sorry for your loss..I loved taking of Ken and was delighted when he came and said hi to me at Fry's..I loved his great sense of humor..

Sorry for your Loss may the God of comfort be with you and your family at this time
