Ken was a person full of life, love and service to others and his community. It was a pleasure to know him and participate in his life.
It was wonderful to see him and Nancy a few years ago again after so long and learn how much he had done with his EMT training I was honored to be a part of so many years ago. Farewell to one of "Chuck's well trained Turkeys", your time for rest and peace has come, the "ambulance's whaling" is no more.

We knew each other for 58 years. First date was 8/22/1962-got married on 8/22/1964. 56 years was not long enough. He was my mentor, my husband, my teacher, my girls' dad, my hero. I will meet you, and Renee, in heaven one day and our futures will go on.
