Very saddened to hear of your loss. Ken was very respected at the Beacon Journal during the years that he was there. He always had a smile and went the extra mile to solve the many technical problems. We will all miss him.

My love and prayers are with each of you at this sad time. Sad because it is always hard to say our last earthly "good-byes" to those we love and hold dear to our hearts. We all will miss Ken's greetings and smiles at church. He always made you feel welcome. Such a vibrant person leaves a void none could ever replace. Now he is with the Master who he loved and served so faithfully. Nov there is no more pain or suffering. He awaits all of you who loved him so dearly. He will be missed. In Jesus Love,
