We were saddened to learn of Ken's passing. Bill has fond memories of Margery trying to get Ken to enjoy swimming and his resistance to do so. He was always a very nice guy and got along with everyone. Bill looked forward to seeing him when his group came to play tennis over the many years.
Our sincere condolences to the family and especially you Margery.
Fondly, Bill and Gail Grimes
