May Ken rest in eternal peace with Jesus and may Kathleen know the love and support of her parish family. Ken touched my life over 12 years ago when he started delivering lunches for our summer lunch program. His selflessness and generosity and sense of humor will be forever missed. Kathleen's witness to me of love, loyalty and selflessness will forever be cherished. My prayers are with the entire family.

Getting to know Ken through our Summer Lunch Program and then having the amazing blessing of spending time with Ken and Kathleen at their home have been some of my most special memories. Watching Kathleen take such good care of her wonderful husband has been a witness of true love, loyalty and selflessness to me. May he rest in eternal peace with Jesus and may Kathleen know the love and support of her parish family.

I waited 40yrs to meet man that could make my heart smile. That was Ken. Our time together was not nearly long enough. We shared a wonderful love and he was able to tell me that even until the end. We kept our promises to each other.
