Not sure what to say?

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your entire family. Please know that the God of all comfort has loving concern for you at this time, at Psalm chapter 34 verse 18. I know you will miss your precious loved one every day, may God give you strength, peace and loving memories. Ann Smith

Carol, I am so sorry to hear and read of Ken's passing. I have many good memories of the times trail riding, Indian Heaven and Rock Creek Horse Camp with you and Ken. May God bless you and your family in your time of sorrow.

Our sincerest condolences to Carol and family. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to visit with Ken at our Trout Lake family reunion.

Ken was an army friend of mine, we met at Ft Wolters, Texas, and deployed through Ft Lewis to Nha Trang, Vietnam, in the summer of 1965 with Det 4, 3rd Radio Research Unit (US Army Security Agency) After a few months, we were transferred up north to Phu Bai (8th RRU). He was a very good friend, an excellent soldier, and we are the lesser for his passing. Stand down, soldier, and muster with the Angels....

Carol, I'm so sorry for your loss. I think about you every time I drive through "Wanke Meadows" in Vancouver. With love, Kathy Hoffman

We were sorry to here that Ken passed away. Prayers to all the family.

Glenwood School on 87th Ave

I grew up with Ken and the Wanke family attending the Glenwood school together. Ken was one of those childhood friends who was hard to forget. Fondest memories come from walking to and from school together along what is now 87th Ave; coats thrown in ant hills and books floating under the culvert near the Folkerts. After Glenwood, Ken and I traveled in different circles but we always had that connection. Thanks for the memories.

smart, witty, gifted clarinetist, honest, easy to make friends. i am proud to be one of them. Dale
