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
