Ken and I worked many years together at Link. He was a great guy to work with and I'm sorry to hear that he had to leave us. Ken is now with the Lord. God Bless.

Ken was a wonderful friend to my late husband Cliff. They shared many fishing adventures and a long working relationship at Link. He was always kind and sent nice cards regualarly to inquire about how our family was doing after my husbands death. Our deepest sympathy to family and friends.
