Not sure what to say?

We will miss our friend Ken and deep condolences to his family for your loss. He was a kind and thoughtful person that will be very missed. His passion for history and jewelry was unparalleled. Liza and I counted on his advice over the years for all our jewelry needs and he always delivered stunning work. He was honest and always had so much knowledge to share ...a true educator at heart.

Rest In Peace Ken...we were so glad to have met you and Margaret.

Matt and...

DINU, Govind Bhadresa. RIP

It is with heavy hearts that my fiance Hilal and I hear the news of Ken's passing. Ken found us our engagement ring, and we loved every minute of the experience. A storyteller, historian, and gemologist Ken was a treasure. We miss him dearly.

The entire New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution sends its deepest sympathy to the family of Compatriot Ward. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Warm Embrace Arrangement

I am very sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I had the good fortune to work with him for many years at Elizabethtown Gas. I always enjoyed his wry sense of humor and entertaining historical anecdotes. May he rest in peace.

Ken has been a wonderful neighbor for 28 years. I could rely on him to know what was going on in the neighborhood and he was always the first to get to know the new neighbors. We shared a mutual interest in genealogy and his knowledge of history was amazing. We have missed Margaret and now will miss having Ken just a short walk across the street. My sympathies to his family. He loved you and talked about all of you all the time.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Ward family. Ken was a giver and friend on our family! May he Rest In Peace. St. Paul's will not be the same without him.

So very sorry to hear about Ken's passing. His love of history and indomitable intelligence will be very missed at the Historical Society among so many other places in our community. We are so truly saddened to hear this news.
