To the Hopp family,
I share your sorrow with the loss of Ken. I worked with Ken at Ameritech" or whatever we called ourselves at the time" and have just heard of his passing. He was my repair trainer and I remember going to his mother's house every afternoon to have coffee . Terrific man to work with. Liz, I'm very sorry for your loss.

Dear Aunt Liz, I'm so sorry I cannot be there with your family today. Uncle Ken's laugh, I will always remember it and the big bear hugs!

Liz, I'm so sorry to hear that Ken has passed. May God grant you peace at this time. He'll be waiting to see you again, some day. Probably with a deck of cards and an Ace up his sleeve.

Aunt Liz,

I'm really sorry to hear of Uncle Ken's passing. He was always a really nice Uncle. I always enjoyed being around both of you at all the family functions as a child.

I always enjoyed Kenny's sense of humor, it was sometimes biting, sometimes sarcastic, but it was always a good laugh. I know he will be missed at Tuesday morning coffee.
