Kenneth Ray Van Hook Sr.

THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY WHERE I DO NOT THINK ABOUT MY BELOVED BROTHER KEN FROM ANOTHER MOTHER. Ken, I love talking to you, asking your advice, hearing you laugh, being by my side. You have never "left" us, you are still laughing at our missteps and idocy, but with only the warmth and love that always defined YOU. Save a spot for us, my beloved brother. I love you always and forever, as does Beans. Billy from Philly

Linda and family I will always miss Ken’s smiling face in business and at standards meeting. I still have his last message to me on my phone. He was one of the great ones.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Memories of loved ones are forever in your heart. Passing thoughts can brighten you day with fun times of the past. He always made life worthy and fun.

As the anniversary approaches I wish the family peace that passes understanding as you remember such a special man/ husband/ father/ grandfather/ great-grandfather/ uncle / cousin. God bless all.

Dear Linda and the Van Hook Family,
I have been blessed with the opportunity to know and work with Ken since 1994. He was truly a man of God and a man of his word. I always looked forward to seeing him at our annual B56 meetings and most recently, working with him on some product litigation. Ken will be missed by all who knew and worked with him. Rest assured that Ken has heard God's precious words, "Well done, good and and faithful servant" (Matt. 25:21, 23).

Dear Van Hook Family,
I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ken on behalf of MCFA over many years. Not only was he the most knowledgeable person in the room but he was also the most likeable. Everyone always enjoyed his company. At every conference, there was always a crowd around Ken. He was a man of genuine honor and integrity and will be missed by all of his colleagues. I will keep your family in my prayers that you will know the comfort that only God Himself can provide.

Dear Diana and Family,
So sorry to hear about Kenny Ray.
I have wonderful memories of growing up with Kenny from FHCC, Boy Scouts and achieving the Eagle award together, playing in the band at North High, and much more.
I recall the thrill of carrying our fishing gear while riding on the back of Kenny's Honda out to the "NO FISHING" spot that he liked at Mogadore Reservoir.
Ken was the first entrepreneur I knew, mowing lawns, repairing and selling old mowers, then the tool...

Dear Van Hook Family,
My family grew up with Kenny and we have such wonderful memories of him. I loved the practical jokes he played on my dad and brothers -- like the street sign he pounded into our yard, right outside my parent's bedroom window, or the duck he accidentally caught with his fishing pool and left in our yard and the polecats he'd have neighborhood kids looking for...especially me! We attended the same little neighborhood church together (where the boy scouts gathered &...
