A big "Thank You" to Ken for starting Deb's Club to encourage music in the youth. The Schroepfers

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

Ken, you will be missed by family and every person who knew you or had met you during the saddest time in their life, Related by marriage as Sandy and I were cousins and the two of you were our son's Godparents.I know you are no longer hurting I know the family is together and everyone is happy.Always in. Our hearts, I am so sorry for the families, Sending thoughts and prayers,

Ken will be missed not only as a funeral director but a well known resident of Pecatonica,he and Sandy both gave so much to the Village. He helped our family out numerous times and was so thoughtful. Though he has been retired for awhile I don't think there are many people in Pec that did not know Ken, he will be sorely missed.

Ken was married to a class mate of mine Sandy - Class of 1957 Pecatonia High School and Sandy and I were also in the same Confirmation Class at the First Lutheran Church....Ken and Sandy attended several of our class reunions and Ken and they were so helpful to my family so many times when I lost family members. My sympathy to Ken's family I know he will be missed - he was so much help to so many who lost someone that they loved.
