Kenneth R. Firkin

Dear Joyce and Family,

I was deeply saddened when I learned of Ken's passing. I worked with Ken for 18 years prior to my moving to North Carolina. He taught me so much and was always there for me. He was quick to offer encouragement and compliment you on a job well done. Ken was not only my "boss", but my mentor and friend as well. I prayed for Ken for many years, and I will now pray for you as you requested.

I spoke with Ken about two weeks before he became ill and...

So fun, kind and generous, we also realized a common love of dachshunds. Cousin-dog Johnny joined the family in Spring 2002. Though I have many happy thoughts about my husband's uncle, I will miss very much seeing him enjoy Johnny.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ken's family. Ken was my boss, mentor, and good friend for many years. He guided me early in my career and even when I left the company, Ken was always there for me. I enjoyed spending time with him and will miss his friendship and wise council. May he be at peace.

Dear Joyce, Bill and family,
A truly dear gentleman has gone to Heaven, leaving his family and friends to grieve the absence of life of someone kind, generous, sensitive and intelligent. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
With deepest, heartfelt sympathy,
Sandee Bryant Mattox
