Ken Hallwhich East Lansing My dear brother, Ken, expired Tuesday October 21 after an unjustly cruel illness consumed his already enfeebled body. He died prematurely, before he really had the opportunity to taste more of life's joy, a joy he deeply deserved. Most unfortunately, our middle brother preceded Ken in death only nine weeks ago. A loving and protective brother throughout our early home life, Ken and I remained very close throughout our lives. Ken's accomplished life was full of honor, empathy and most importantly, irreverent humor. I take the greatest pleasure in stating that his life enhanced many others and that their love for my brother well matches my own, limitless love for the man. Good bye dear brother, friend, and fellow traveler. For over thirty years Ken worked for Tri -County Community Mental Health believing he could make a difference. He was much loved by coworkers for his irreverent sense of humor and tireless commitment to the less fortunate. He will be greatly missed by all who were privileged to love him, know him, and work with him. He is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Don Hallwhich and Stacey Willson, special friends, Michael Ranieri and Linda Gold, and the families of his four stepchildren. A family man in the widest sense, Ken was known to be a devoted grandfather. Ken will have a military burial at the Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan.
