Not sure what to say?

Ken will always be in out hearts. He was the pillar on this end of the street. Always keeping an eye on things & making sure the street was safe. Some of my favorite memories of Ken was his famous garage sales. I would go over to see what he had & it never failed that I would come home with something from the Vodry store. Sometimes things that I didn't even know that I needed. Things just appeared in my bag. He was always so willing to help anyone who needed help. In the warmer months we...

Lucy (Mom) Dad will always be in your heart and you in his. He loved you more than life itself, he told me often that you were the greatest thing to ever happen to him. He has told me many times to get along with my brothers and sisters and to make sure I take care of you. I'll be there for you through thick or thin the same way you have been for me. I'll miss his hugs and his love for my daughter, my wife and myself.

Uncle Ken, You are a major part of my favorite childhood memories. I will cherish the memories of going to the farm and us kids bugging you to take us out for tractor rides, you always made sure we all had cat tails. Then at night going shining. You always greeted me with a big hug and a "Hi Honey!" I will miss you so much, but I am so happy that you and Uncle Mel and Uncle Bob are together again. Stay out of trouble! Love You!

Fred, Lisa, and family - So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Never easy saying good bye to our parents/loved ones. With sympathy, Scott and Nancy Bradley

Lucy, may the gathering of family and friends support you through your grief. My continued prayers for strength, for healing of heart, and especially for peace go out to all who are feeling the loss of Ken; especially for you Lucy, Jodene, Ginny, and Phyllis. May grief soon give way to fond memories of Ken, and the promise that we will all see him again in Heaven. Rest in peace, "uncle Ken doll"...

My deepest sympathy to the whole family..we have lost a really super person! I've always had great respect for Ken and will miss him immensely. May the blessings of the Lord always be you Lucy and the entire Vodry family.

You have our deepest sympathies, may god be with you at this time, we will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers, I will always remember our family trip we had Ken sure gave me some great memories to keep.
He will be sorely missed by all. From the Kirk's.


Tears streamed down my face when I saw you that way.
I love you grandpa, I will love you everyday.
As my tears raced down my face;
I knew you'd soon be in a happier place.
My love will follow you wherever you go.
Oh how I loved you so.
Although I feel sorrow and hate.
You can't fight fate.
You told me everything as time passed by and by.
I never wanted you to die.
We did a lot together throughout the years.
It's time to wipe away...

My sympathy goes to your entire family.
