Here it is, coming up on 9 years you’re gone. And now you’re joined by your older sister Betsy, and nephews Tom & Nick! And remember when you could hold your granddaughter in one hand? Not so much now! She is growing into a little woman fast! Joe & I often reminisce about our trips, visits & family gatheringsand laugh about certain sayings you’d mock Joe about with his accent. (Bear for beer). You have missed so much but hopefully you’re watching from above, chuckling silently! You are missed so much & it makes me sad you aren’t here. We love you then & now more than you know! I hope you are resting in peace, hunting, fishing, playing tennis & your drums.
Donna & Joe!

Wow....it´s been 5 years since you passed. Seriously, a day hasn´t gone by where I haven´t thought of you in some way! Mostly the crazy things you did at the beach, at Christmas and growing up! So often I wanna call you just to say WAZ UP FOOL! . I hope Bill & you are up there hanging out with Mom, Dad & Karen! I miss you so much, as do all of your friends & family....Especially Gail, Erica & Ava(who has grown SO MUCH!).
I´ll be looking for your "special" signs at the beach soon, you always send me one! Oh by the way.... we are staying 2 weeks! Lol. (Pvt. joke with my husband & him). Love you Brother!!!!

We were away for a few days and I only learned of Ken's passing today. I worked with Ken for many years while employed at Leb County. I always liked, respected, and trusted Ken. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May our Loving God provide you comfort and peace.

Dear Gail and Erica,
I was shocked to hear this sad news.I knew the first time he showed up at our combo practice as our new drummer that I would like Ken. His drums were as smooth as his personality. We became good musical friends,I was best man at your wedding,and we were tennis buddies for many years but life intervened and we lost contact. Oh man, how I will miss him !
Bless you,
Ron and Joan Ditzler

Saturday mornings at the tennis club won't be the same without your smile and your upbeat conversations you'd have with me and my dad. You were always a good guy, Ken. You will be missed.

We are so heartbroken over the loss of Ken! The visits to Pa, his & Gails visits to Florida, the Beach vacations, the Mountain trips, the family gatherings will not be the same but we know he'll be with us in spirit! His life was taken far to soon and sudden that we are still in a state of shock!
