To Kens Family,
I want to express my condolences on your loss.
I had the opportunity to work with Ken for many years in our local Life Underwriters Association. He was a true friend with a mountain of experience and information. He will be missed, by not only you, but also by the many local, state and national insurance individuals who came to rely on his wisdom and his willingness to make a difference in our business.
I will also miss our frequent conversations about our passion for boating.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Life is a very precious thing but, it does have it's drawbacks. Lost of loved ones and death itself is part life. But you can take comfort in knowing that peace and joy surround him now, and some day we will know that same peace and joy with him

Sandy,
My heart goes out to you and your girls. Ken was a wonderful man! A loving husband, father and friend to so many people. My parents respected and appreciated his financial guidance through the years. Someone they could depend on, someone with honor and integrity. Hold on to your family and friends, they'll give you the strength to make it through.
