"God looked around his garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best." May God grant you comfort and peace as you process the loss of your loved one. My thoughts are prayers are with you.

Our world is a poorer place without Ken Woodfill in it. He lived his Christian beliefs every day in the way he loved his fellow man. I know he certainly had a positive impact on my son, Paul's life. Take comfort in knowing he is in the place Jesus prepared for him. With deepest sympathy, Janet Bircheff and family.

I worked for Ken in the early 90's. He gave me a job when I had little, to no experience building decks, and it has turned out to be one of my greatest passions in life. I did it as a business, myself, for a while. Ken was a great man and made a big impact on my life. I was very sad to see he had passed. My thoughts are with his entire family. I know he will be missed greatly.
