Dear Wilt and Jan,

I was so saddened to hear of Ken's passing. He fought the cancer battle with such courage. He will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Love,

Uncle Wilt & Aunt Jan:

Just spoke w/Mom and she told me about Ken. There are no words to express my sadness over Ken's passing as well as your loss - I would have been there Friday had I known. I will never forget my childhood memories of Ken and I fishing for bass (trying to catch that record bass) with super dupers & a variety of meps, on the Big Lake and the Upper and Lower lakes, our riding horses together, herding & branding cattle, and the infamous Easters at the Ranch. My thoughts and prayers as well as heartfelt sympathy go out to YOU and the entire family. I love you all!!!!

To the Williams Family:

I worked with Ken at Diamond Fruit Growers first as secretary to Bruce Howe, Vice President of Marketing and then as Administrative Assistant to Ron Girardelli, President. Ken was always a bright spot in the office. As his illness progressed and he had to quit working, he was still a bright spot whenever he came to visit us. Ken was always concerned about everybody. The last time Ken came to visit us in the office he stopped by my desk to ask how I was doing. I had a short bout with breast cancer last Fall and he was genuinely concerned about how I was doing. I kept telling him I was fine - he had a lot more to worry about for himself, but that was Ken, always thinking about others. I'm so very glad that I was able to attend the celebration of Ken's life on June 21st at Roger's. That was very special. As I was leaving that afternoon there was a deer standing a little ways from the road just watching as I drove by. It seemed so appropriate. I will miss Ken, but my memories will remain and I know my life has been better for having known him.

To The Williams Family,

I worked with Ken here at Diamond Fruit for many years, when you work with someone 10 hours a day 5-6 days a week you become family. Ken was a big part of our family at work and as a personal friend. He will be forever missed but his presence will never be forgotten. I feel very fortunate to have been his friend and co-worker. We have many memories that will be be shared forever.

Dear Williams Family,

It is with a sad heart that my prayers and condolences go out to you all. I have so many fond memories of romping through your orchards with Clinton and Chris, while Ken shook his head and steadfastly picked his quota of macadamia nuts or avocadoes. I am saddened that so much time has passed since we have last had contact, but I wanted you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Very fond regards,

David Rodi

We are planning on coming to the memorial on Fri.( if we can find Green Head Hunting Club.) My mom saw this in the paper and just called me. We are both so sorry. I know there is nothing we can say to make you feel better .But, we just want you to know we care and how special all of your family has always been to us.As you know Chris was our first friend in Calif.Then we got to know the rest of the wonderful Williams family, Jan, Wilt, Ken , Clint, and Corey. We have never forgotten what Wilt (and all of you )did for us when my dad died. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Gayle and Verdelle Whtebook
