I can't believe it has been 7 years since Ken pasted away. He was such a lover of life and loved all people. Prayers for his wonderful wife Judy and family.

I was so sorry to hear that Ken had passed. He was so full of life and plans the last time I saw him. I hadn't had an opportunity to visit for several weeks, and was trying to reach him when I saw the obituary notice. I'm sure you know how much Ken was loved, by so many people. He was a very special man, and my friend, and I will miss him.

Dear Meis Family,
You don't even know who were are but we knew Ken through our wedding planning for our daughter. He was the most amazing person. Once we met him we felt the whole event would turn out beautifully! He did the flowers and decorating for our first wedding, our daughter. I got to know him and feel sad for your loss. He took care of all our needs early into the event as well. We feel truly blessed to have known him. Our love and prayers for all of you!

Dear Judy and Family I was so sorry to hear Ken had passed. We were moving Ashlee to Denver during it all and I didn't know. He was the funniest person I had ever known. We had so much fun when we worked together at Mike's shop and when I worked for you guys at Ken's Naturally. He will be missed by everyone he touched. He was such a great guy!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.

I only met Ken on a couple occasions but I know some of the lives he touched. As you mourn the loss of a good husband, father, brother, uncle and friend, please celebrate his life by the taking time to reflect on the good memories. May he rest in peace.

Judy and Kids:

I will miss Ken. I will have fond memories of projects at Cathedral High, Cathedral Arts Project, Futura and Claude's. Most of all his wonderful work on our daughter's wedding. We are currently out of town at my godson's wedding. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless everyone.

Judy and Family,
I will miss my over the fence talks with Ken.

I am fortunate to have reminders of Ken throughout my yard. Many of the plants came when Ken was thinning things out in your yard and he would show up with something and tell me exactly where it needed to be in my yard!

I will always be reminded of what a great person he was.

Dear Judy and family,
God bless all of you. I met Ken at the General Crook House while he was decorating the General's study, which he did every year. He was such a gracious man. His talent for making things beautiful, (even dryer lint) was awe inspiring. He will be greatly missed.

Ken was my mother, Pris McNamara's, hair stylist for over 35 years. Through thick and thin, Ken supported my mom's desire to look nice, even while she was in the nursing home and then homebound. He was a talented, creative man of great dedication, humor and fortitude.

For Judy and your family -- thank you for sharing Ken with us all these years. We are so sorry for your loss. You will remain in our prayers.

Ken, be with the angels now. You will fit right in.

With love, Pris & Lee McNamara, Pam McNamra, Kathy Pitsor, Lee McNamara Jr., Molly McKinney, and Mike McNamara
