Even though we both worked at St. E's, I knew Ken best from our time together at church. He taught Sunday School and was a wonderful teacher. He made it fun with his sense of humor.
We were also singing buddies in the choir. He took excellent care of Wanda when she was critically sick. Ken was such a fine man.

Sending prayers to Ken's family, and especially to his wife of just a few months with whom he had found new happiness. I know he will be sorely missed. I enjoyed working with Ken all his years at St.E. He had a quiet way, but would also share a funny joke with us to brighten our day. Glad to have known you, Ken.

Ken has been a work Buddy for 30 some years at St. E. Better known as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, we shared experiences in Ultrasound and Echo. Ken was a bit of a jokester, he often came to our department with a joke of the day.
Lunches were a hoot with Ken around. He had a quiet side that loved nature. I believe he visited most of the country's national parks. Ken was a sweet, religious man that will be missed by many.
