Kenneth J. Swan

Ken, thank you for being the world's greatest dad to Pammy and Kimmy, a loving husband to Joanne, and a wonderful son-in-law and brother-in-law to the Soucy clan. Words cannot express the sadness I am feeling right now. Our niece Brooke said it best that this is such a monumental loss for his family, our family, and to all his friends. Will never forget you and will love you always.

From Beantown I came to visit the Big Apple scene, upon accepting an invitation from Ken to work with him at Trinity Church from morn to eve.
I stayed with Ken and Joanne in their first home inside a castle in the village of Dobbs Ferry, as it was Ken's intent to provide family companionship for my sister.
I saved a token from those days some 30 plus years ago to treasure the memories of Ken's thoughtful and kind ways!

My heartfelt condolences to all who loved Ken.May his light always shine upon his loved ones...rest in peace forever and ever.........

Ken is my sister's husband, Pam and Kim's Dad, my brother in law, and my friend. He is in heaven with the God who loves him and he will be in my heart and in my family memories forever.

I worked with Ken many years ago at Trinity Church. I will always remember his very distinctive hand writing ~ it was very strong & powerful ~ but Ken, on the other hand, was always very kind & gentle. I'll never forget that smile as it was his signature look, a very happy man indeed. Rest in peace Ken & I will light a candle at church on Sunday for your family. My condolences to you all.

Ken had the guts and courage to do what was right.
A person of loyalty. Blew me away.

will never forget the great team at Trinity with Ken Swan. Loyalty to one another was strneonger than the submarine crews! Hank Norde, ( Quiet Place,Upthere )

Pamela, Kim, Ms. Swan and the rest of the family,
Just like everyone else, I was truly saddened to hear the unfortunante news of Mr. Swan's untimely passing. However, after witnessing the amount of people that came out to support the family this evening, I realized that Ken, was a true angel on Earth. We were all very lucky and extremely blessed to have known him. His generous nature, kind words and colorful spirit will always be remembered in our hearts and fond memories. I hope that you can find peace in knowning that your dad was a one of a kind man that truly touched the lives of so many.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Ken's passing. Ken had a razor-sharp mind, and was so informed, experienced, kind, personable and charming. I will forever miss his wise counsel, wit, caring spirit, and soft twinkle in his eyes.

Aunt Joanne, Pam and Kim,

Craig and I will dearly miss Uncle Ken; he was a wonderful presence in our lives and will be treasured forever. I can see his warm smile now and hear him making witty remarks to make those around him laugh and feel so warm. Losing Uncle Ken is monumental but knowing Uncle Ken was profound. May you each allow your fond memories to fill the emptiness in your hearts and let that bring you peace. Uncle Ken wants us to smile; because we know he is smiling at us up there in his front row seat in heaven.

With our deepest condolences and prayers that you find the strength and support needed to guide you through.

So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. He will be in my prayers.

Ken worked for me many years ago at the YWCA-NYC. I was shocked to hear the news. Ken was a competent, gentle and kind man. Many of my colleagues from those days join me in expressing their sympathy to his wife and the rest of the family. This is a great loss.

The Board of Directors, Staff and Residents of St. Margaret's House send their deepest sympathies and condolences to the family and friends of Ken Swan who was a steadfast and true supporter of our mission to provide for the most disadvantaged of our society.

Our last communication was via email, and we talked about the great Golf Courses in the UAE, where I'm currently on assignment. Ken was truly a wonderful, unforgettable human being. He was a friend and a mentor, and one of the smartest Accountants I know. I shall miss him terribly! My sincere condolences go out to Joanne, Pamela and Kimberly.

My deepest sympathy goes to the Swan Family. For many years, Ken was a member of the St. Margaret's House board of directors, a board treasurer, a finance committee chair, and I had the opportunity to work under his leadership. Ken has been a great coach and a freind to me and I will never forget him. A great supporter of the St. Margaret's House mission, may his soul rest in peace.

Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Mr. Swan, I can't believe you're not here anymore :( When Pam told me the news yesterday, I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it!! I just keep imagining you sitting on the sofa or about to walk down the stairs or about to walk through the kitchen. You were such a great father to Pam and Kim, an amazing husband to Mrs. Swan and an awesome role model! You will forever be missed. You might be gone, but you will never be forgotten!! May the Lord be with you.

RIP Mr. Swan
