Not sure what to say?

I have only just heard of Ken's passing and am very sad to hear about him. He was a man of great character, skill and experience. Though I only worked for him for one season, I shall never forget everything I learned from him... especially his devotion to you.

1952 Caddy

I had the pleasure of meeting Ken here in April 2010, when he came by to pick up our blue 1952 Cadillac 6219 to add to his collection. Very interesting and engaging guy and I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.

Saddened to hear the news of Ken's passing today. He was a very unique character in the helicopter industry and I always enjoyed seeing him and catching up on his latest adventures - many of which fell into the truly improbable (but always true) category!

My thoughts are with all of the family at this time.

We love you and Ken and are so sorry for your loss!

Suzanne - it was with great sorrow that I heard of Ken's passing - he was a man who left a lasting impression.

Your visits to the Waterloo area were always a high-light of our fall (boy those were big buses). I especially remember that night, when sitting around Stan's kitchen table, Ken was sharing some stories about the many jobs he had worked at; however when he informed us that he had once been a "Man of the Cloth" - well that almost knocked me off my chair. It was a fantastic...

Dear Suzanne & family: How empty things seem down here in Quartzsite without you and Ken. We looked forward to each season more after getting to know you both. Randy especially enjoyed his 'car chats' with Ken. We miss you all stopping by on your bike rides for a break. His passing leaves a hole in many lives but I'm sure he's having a blast 'up there' doing what he does best... making everyone's existence a little easier and more fun! Know that we are thinking of you all during this...

Suzanne, please find comfort in your memories. The brief chats with Ken were always good, he had time for everyone. Take time, take care.

Uncle Ken was a very special and influential member of our family. I will always remember the excitement in the household when Dad would announce he was coming to town. He gave us many wonderful adventures that will be cherished forever and we are all very blessed to have shared some time with this remarkable man. My 'larger than life' Uncle will be very missed and never forgotten. Aunt Suzanne you have our deepest sympathy. Fly with the angels Uncle Ken! Love Jackie, Amanda, Eric,...

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continued to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. As you grieve know that we are remembering you and honoring the memory of Ken. Please accept our heartfelt sympathies for your loss... our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult...
