So, so sorry to learn about Ken's death! Ken was one of the leading voices in pursuing help for children, adolescents and adults with Learning Disorders and especially dyslexia as we, with the International Dyslexia Association, WI Branch, were attempting to educate educators and other professionals about it. Rest In Peace, Ken!

Our Deepest Sympathy

I was so sorry to hear about Ken. My deepest condolences to the family. I have known Ken back when we bowled at Brookfield Park Lanes. Every time I enter the Griswold garage memories start to surface. I always asked the boys how their father was doing . He was a man that always had time for you and always had a smile . He was a great mechanic and even greater man. He will always be remembered by Judy & myself.
