Not sure what to say?

Many fine memories working with Ken when I was a brand new Lineman for Michigan Bell Telephone Co. in 1954. We were all proud of him when he became a switchman for Sparta CDO.

Jeanette I was so sorry to hear about Ken's passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Between being out of town and not feeling well I am sorry I was on unable to come to the funeral home or the funeral.

Dear Aunt Jeanette,
We are sorry about Unkle Ken, Scott and I always enjoyed the attention he gave us at family gatherings, he always made me (Jenny) feel like I was a part of the larger family. I grieve now because I haven't seen him for a very long time. He can count on me looking him up in heaven! Our thoughts are with you and your family today.
Love,
Scott and Jenny

Mrs. Tobey, Nancy, Kathy, Sally;

Please accept condolences on behalf of Mike, Mary, Rick and I, as well as the extended Sharp family who knew and loved Ken. I always liked listening to he and my Dad swap jokes, talk about tools, Ma Bell or golfing. Mr. Tobey was like an uncle to me, and I'll miss him.

Know that our prayers are with all of you.
