To the Schofer Family,
Ken was someone whom I could talk to about anything; he was one of my best friends and we shared many dinners and trips together. Many great stories he shared with me of his life and family.
My love for him extends to his entire family for his absence in body. However, he will remain in our hearts.

I only knew of this man by his son, Rob (Commuter-Dude) Schofer. Kenneth made a legacy of love for his kids/ grand kids, and you can't ask for anything more. My heart aches for Rob as I know the amount of love he had for his dad. All I can say is the memories you both had will keep him alive in your heart. Virtual hug to you Rob!
