Pam,
May God console you and all those who loved Ken in this life. This morning I celebrated a private mass for the repose of his soul and consolation of his loved ones.
I have fond memories of Ken and have been inspired by reading the guest book entries here which attest to the tremendous blessing he has been to others.

May God Bless you all in this time. We were privileged to be able to spend time with Ken when we lived with you early in our marriage. He certainly left his mark upon us. His great faith and love will always be remembered.

Dear Pam and family,
I remember Ken as "Mr. Larson" or "Sue's Dad". I remember him always being in good humor and always looking out for his family in gentle ways. I remember the smell of his pipe and his quiet chuckle. He was a Dad his children could always turn to. May he rest in God's peace. I pray peace for his family too.

Dear Pam,
I am so sorry to hear of Ken's passing away. In the 10+ years I have known you, I am aware that Ken was indeed the love of your life and soul mate. I am at a loss of words as nothing can express how sorry I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.

Dear Pam & Family,
My prayers go out to you and your whole family during this time. I'm so glad I was able to be in a men's group with Ken for years, and able to share common "engineer" stories with him. May he have the joy of looking directly into the face of the savior he loved so much.

You probably don't remember me, but I lived in Ann Arbor in the mid-late 80"s. Over the years I have remembered your wonderful story of Michael the Archangel finding the adoption papers for Michael! I have always been inspired by your story! I am sorry to hear of Ken's passing. May he rest in the arms of Jesus until you meet him there one day!

Pam, You and Ken were a wonderful witness to Pam and I when we visited the Guest House in Ann Arbor. We arrived with three little kids in tow and you all showed us such wonderful, kind hospitality. We have never forgotten. Your example started us on the search for Christian community that has shaped our lives ever since. You are in our prayers.

Pam, we are stunned and saddened by your loss. You and Ken have been a part of our lives for over 30 years. We have experienced your kindnesses first hand. I still remember that Ken taught us to wall-paper. What he helped us hang in the dining room is still looking good! It will be a daily reminder to pray for his soul, and for your well-being. Love love love

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
