Kenneth W. Balts

Mary Lou and family: Thank heaven Sherry Ready is a compulsive facebooker or I would not have known of Ken's passing. I want to extend my sympathies to all of you. Just read about it today or I would have come to the memorial--so sorry I missed it and seeing you.

Mary Lou, Linda, Keith, and families,

My deepest sympathies to all of you on your own loss. I pray that the recollection of many fond, family memories and your strong faith help you get through this difficult time. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

All the Best,
Bob, Ronda, Allison, Amanda, and Ava Beggs

Mary Lou, I am so sorry for your loss. Ken was my first boss at Western in 1992 and left a lasting impression on me. I remember how proud he was of your children. My prayers are with you and your family.

Ken had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a very intelligent gentleman. I loved listening to him explain a situation or tell stories of his many experiences. Happy I got to spend a bit of time with him. My prayers are with Mary Lou & family. We will miss Ken. God bless & rest his soul in heaven.

Mary Lou - We were so sorry to hear that Ken passed away. He had such a pleasant personality and could bring a smile to everyone's face. Our prayers are with all of you.

Mary Lou , my deepest sympathy on Ken’s passing. I know he was so sick lately. But it’s so sad for all those he leaves to miss his physical presence here. I am on a bus trip to Cape Cod so will not be able to be at his funeral. I am keeping you all in prayer. And will contact you when I get back in a few weeks. Carol Knox

Ken was the man who hired me at Western. Because of Ken, I was able to maintain a teaching career there for 27 years. I´ll always be grateful...My condolences to the family.

Rest in peace wise gentlemen & friend. Thanks for all you've done for our community and will miss your generous assistance of others in need. Your humor and experience of living life to the fullest will be remembered for years by all my family & friends. Thoughts, prayers sent to your family.

Mary Lou, I feel so honored to have spent time with Ken at the Class Luncheon. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you say good-bye to the love of your life. "May the Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent one from the other.
