Dear Family, Ken and I were in the "School of Social Work" together with Dr. Garnet Larson as our professor. Ken was a kind, friendly person that has remained in my memory and I am sad to learn that he has died. I am happy to know that he had a wonderful wife and sons and that he gave of himself so beautifully in his Social Work career and in the love of his faith.

Matthew 18:3 "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Ken always had that quality of a child in so many ways. He lived his faith, trusting fully, just as a little child. Now he is in the arms of his heavenly father!!

Dear Family of Ken,
All of you are in our prayers. Your husband and father was so kind -- we know how much he loved you and how all of you will miss him. "May the angels lead him into paradise ... "

Ken was a wonderful fellow. Dorothy, Dylan and I all loved him very much. He and Bibi were my son's catechism teachers and Dylan always said he learned more about Catholicism from Ken than anyone else. He will be missed greatly not only in Topeka but throughout the country wherever his many friends and family reside. God Bless Bibi and their boys and God Bless Ken in Heaven where he now, most assuredly, resides.
