Ken,

Though I did not know you. I would like to thank you for all you did for my daughter, Nancy and her son, Nick.

I want you to know that I hold your family in love in their time of sorrow.

The spirit has no boundaries, so I know you will still be taking care of people.

In love and light,

Vicki

I have worked with Ken for over 10 years and he was my friend. He helped me finance many real estate transactions and he was always there to advise me on business related issues. I will miss him. Art Softley, Softley Real Estate Appraisals.

Our prayers go out to the family. May the Holy Spirit comfort you during this time of your loss.

We are shocked and saddened to hear the bad news, but are comforted to know that Ken is in heaven. Ken had spoke several times to us about Jesus, and that he believed and was looking forward to the rapture.

Although Ken had his moments, we must say that a lot of people learned the business from him. Some even went out and started their own companies. Ken was one of the best that we had ever seen in sales. Ken knew his job well.

Through Ken we meet a lot of good people.

Ken was also a person who knew how to forgive. We have seen Ken always help people in a time of need. It didn't matter to Ken if he was wronged, he was always very helpful. Sherry and I watched Ken give abundtly in money, good advice, a place to work, and sometimes even a place to stay. Always with a smile. He has a heart of gold and we look forward to seeing him in heaven.

May God bless Ken and his family.

Oh Ken-do-lynn ~ I do not even know where to begin. I want to start by thanking you for the encouragement that you gave me during the most trying times of my life. You were always there with a gentle ear and kind words when each day seemed like a struggle. I also want to thank you for getting me into an industry that has allowed me to successfully raise Nick on my own. I can't image what I would be doing today had you not shown up in that front row at real estate school. Nick and I have fond memories of house sitting for you ~ no one ever told me not to call the cops when Russ (I didn't know him then) took the car! I want to thank you mostly for the surety that I have knowing that you are up in heaven continuing to watch over all the people that you care for. Godspeed ~ until we meet again.

Ken,

Your vast knowledge of history, religion, marketing and mortgages will always stick with me as well as the fun trips to the casino. You lived and loved with no fear. Thanks for the good times and the bad. As I work in your old office I will continue to learn from your courage and remember the man that gave me the chance to do more with my life than just live it.

You were always a wonderful man in my eyes. I thank you for the opportunity you gave me and know that I would not be where I am today if it weren't for you.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
