Kay, We were so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Peggy had called Barbara Nelson who told her. I know he loved doing accounting and apparently was doing that until the last. We love you guys and pray God's peace and everlasting arms be with you. Love, Earl and Margie Yenter

Although we haven't seen Ken in many years my wife and I will always remember his and Kaye's help and kindness when I was stationed in Ca.They let us live in their appartment at the back of their house for our last month before my tour of duty was up,so we could save some extra money.Back then GIs didn't make much.The same is true today.But we have never forgot their kindness.They are truely a very loving family,and he will be missed by many,especially this time of the year(tax time).He was great with nunbers and loved doing it.To his family Carolyn and I send our deepest thoughts and prayers.To his many friends,may will always remember his kindness. mlp

We were neighbors with Ken and Kay in Uravan, Niagara Falls, and Grand Junction as Rusty worked with him at Union Carbide. Ken was concientious and was an excellent accountant and supervisor. We want to extend condolences to Kay and her families.

Ken was one of my favorite people and a favorite supervisor at Union Carbide where I worked with him for several years. I will miss knowing that he is no longer with us, but know he is in a wonderful, happy place. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Some of the iris in your yard came from my yard to yours. I wanted to attend the memorial service, but am caring for my great-granddaughter, who is 2 years old.

Ken was a talented and gifted man. We looked forward to seeing him year after year for our taxes because we felt he was not only a whiz at preparing our taxes, but also such a breath of fresh air. There was something very special and unique about Ken. He was very professional and swift at his job, but he also cared about those he was helping. He always took the time to inquire how the family was, and he was sincere in his asking. I feel we were blessed to have known Ken and that our paths crossed as they did. Our sympathy goes oout to the family at this time of loss, but knowing that he is now in Gods presence is very enlightening. God bless the wonderful family he leaves behind for now as he awaits the reunion in Heaven.

Much love to you Kay. We are blessed to have known you and Ken. Thank you God for giving us such a gift as Ken. I remember all the giving in tax preparation he did at tax time for many people. Before computers were big, he meticulously worked through the financial books at the church he served. In later years, it was great to see his delight of his small group at the Vineyard. A life well lived and gifts generously shared! Thank you Ken!
