Susan,
Barb and I were saddened to hear of Ken's passing. He was a wonderful man, and a good friend to us, and many others. We remember with fond memories when we had the CFG activity with you, and also when Ken drove us with you to Christmas caroling. He is truly in a better place of perfect bliss, but we will all miss having him in our lives. May God bless you. Bob and Barb Stump
