My sympathy to Ken's family. I will always remember the good times we had. The party your sister had, what a night. The trip to Canada with your family. Taking your sister's GTO for a spin, and the band. RIP my friend.

It was sad and quite a shock to read of Ken's passing yesterday. The class of 70 has remained quite close and members are saddened as am I to hear this news. May you find peace and love through this troubling time and continue to remember your husband, father and grandfather with joy. My deepest sympathy to you all.
