I was fortunate enough to work with Ken in the HR department at Ohio Citizens Bank. He was a kind, thoughtful, intelligent and witty young man. My husband, Dan, and I are so sorry for your loss.

Uncle Ken was only 16 when I was born. My how time flies! I found today the Brown Teddy Bear he brought to me when he visited for the first time. I'm so glad I got to grow up with such a loving and funny person! You will be missed and heaven has gained one heck of an angel! I love you Uncle Ken.

Ken was my first supervisor in the recruiting consulting world. He would always be so chipper when visiting our client companies. He bounced when he came down the hallway.
Prayers to your family.

Sending Ken's entire family my deepest and heartfelt sympathies. I've known Ken professionally for 25 years. He was the utmost professional and one of the kindest, most respected and supportive people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. He loved his family deeply and was such a proud father...always lit up when speaking of his son! He will truly be missed by all.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My condolences and prayers to the Bertok family...I was a close friend of Ken's during our high school years, and the one lasting impression of Ferd (a nickname a few of us called him) is that he always made us laugh, and that's a memory that will last forever..God Bless

Kathy & Dennis,
Sorry to hear the news of your brother-in-law's passing. He is now at peace after his long battle. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers for strength to get through this loss. I would like to share this poem with your sister and family:
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.

Ken was always such a gentleman who made everyone feel special. It was a pleasure to have worked with him many years ago and to call him a friend. My heart goes out to Tina, Alec and his extended family during this especially difficult time.
