I am so sorry for your family's loss. Although I never had the chance to meet Ken personally, I can tell he was a good man. I too lost a family to the same disease, and I remember how painful it was. Rest assured though, that God promises to remember his faithful ones (Malachi 3:16). My prayers are with you.

I worked with Ken's wife, Nora, at World Impact's thrift store for many years and had never met Ken until she no longer worked there. Several of us visited at their home and had lunch and Ken was actively taking care of Nora and serving lunch and being a big part of the luncheon, and watching the grandkids at the same time. He always made us feel welcome and encouraged us to come back soon. Even through all their physical problems, both Ken and Nora made us feel that we were not a burden to them and I am sure he will be greatly missed by everyone.
