I was so sad to hear of Ken's passing as listed in the Copco Courier. He was always such a big help to us when we were @ the cabin. Ken and Dennis will both be watching out for us from above. Pam Wyckoff & family

Marilyn and family - We've missed Ken for some time now. We've missed seeing him outside with the dogs, coming over to lend a helping hand, or his friendly wave. He is what made our neighborhood, neighborly. The girls knew him and were sad to hear he passed also. God bless - Frank, Iris and girls.

It has been a long time Ken but I still miss the many hours we spent working together, being out of town long days and weeks. Camping trips. RSES dinners, dances and Christmas Parties.You were always there when any of us needed help. May you rest in peace.
