My sincere condolences on the passing of Ken. I had the pleasure of working at Gaines Emhof Metzler & Kriner and the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Ken over the eight years. He was such a great guy, salt of the earth, and boy did he enjoy having a good time and talking about his family, hunting, fishing, and what a great laugh! He will be missed dearly. Jeannie, to you and your family - I truly hope that fond memories will bring you peace and comfort in the days ahead and always keep Ken close in your hearts. With deepest sympathy, Jennifer Eckman

So sorry for your loss. I remember Ken as such a nice guy. Unfortunately Larry and I are in Florida so we will not be able to attend the wake or funeral
