Not sure what to say?

Sorry to learn of Ken's death. God rest his soul. It was a pleasure to know him.

I worked with Ken for two years at Renneckars when I was 19-21. He was always smiling, always caring, to everyone. His family are in my thoughts and prayers. I feel lucky to have know him at all.

I'm sorry Steve, Mike, Ron, Dan, Debbie, Sandy, and the rest of the family. I'll always remember Ken as the father who went to Mass every morning. I think that kept me a bit "straighter" than I probably would have been. Ken was a great guy.

Please accept my condolence, may the family find comfort @ Isisah 25:8,

Sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.

Ken liked to sing at work. He actually had a pretty good voice. The singing Pharmacist. He was one of the people that made Renneckar's Pharmacy the 'friendly Pharmacy'.
