Good afternoon. Today in my email, Mr. Walczak's passing was shared as a remembrance. I appreciated the interactions I had with him. It was fun getting to know him through Dave and Bob, going to the auctions, having pizza at House of Pizza after the auctions, and time on the boat. I am grateful I had a chance to get to know him and to be able to spend time with him. He is definitely missed.

A month ago today we said our Good-byes physically but YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME! I MISS YOU! I MISS YOU SO MUCH! It has been THE HARDEST month of my entire life. I go places and say "Dad was here" or "We were all here before", I hear a song on the radio and say "Dad heard this song before and think now he doesn't" or "That was one of Dad's(Grandpa's) favorite songs". All these thoughts make me feel sad and lonely with all the grief that still exists; but these thoughts also make me feel Happy and Thankful for ALL THE WONDERFUL and LOVING MEMORIES that I have. You were and are my friend, my inspiration, my idol, my hero, MY DAD!! You were the Best. THE BEST!! I will live my life as you taught me. I will make you proud and ALL will know that I am your son. I Love you Dad!
Love David.

Dear Denise & Family,
I was once told to always remember the good times you had and there will always be a smile on your face and not tears. With Ken, none of us will be without a smile. He was just the best. Just one of those guys none will ever forget!

Dear Denise and Family,
Donna and I are in New Zealand for the month of February. Today while browsing the Times, I read of Ken's passing.
We admired his courage and valued his friendship. It was Ken who came to me, after I was diagnosed with cancer, to encourage me and to share what he had been through and was about to go through.
Denise, sometimes words just get in the way but know that our prayers and good wishes go out to you and your family.
God bless all of you!

Denise and Family,
The first time I spoke with Ken I was so impressed by his smile. How rare in life do you meet such a man with such a warm, contagious smile. I am so priviledged to have met Ken and shared good times with him and you. He brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. Now he is in heaven looking down at all of you and I am sure he has a big smile on his face. May each day lessen your heart ache. You will never be without the memories. God Bless all of you.

Hi Denise, Bob and David:
I am so sorry I could not make Ken's wake, but I just wanted to drop a line to send my deepest sympathies. I think my favorite memory of Ken was when I sold my first car to him and then it got stolen from his lot (oh well, at least they found it later!) ;) Anyway, he will be missed.
God bless and keep in touch...

I first remember meeting Ken at the Yacht Club meeting. This tall dapper Dan of a guy with a great smile, and a gift of gab to match.
He will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a great friend to many, and because of that, he will live forever with those who had the honor to know him.
God Bless, Marty

From the day I was born, my Uncle Ken has always been part of my life, from the childhood birthday parties to today's adult trials and tribulations. A void has been left in my heart that will never be filled again, yet I know that my Uncle Ken will always be with me. We will miss you very much.
