What a wonderful article, looks like your might have had something to do, with it Beth! I can hear Ken saying, as he’d turn his head, “Oh, gee what is this about?” He was always humble. The four of us had a lot of good times, and many laughs. A big part, for all of us, was our church, am so thankful, sure you are too. I just imagine, that Ken and Alan have reunited, and looking at the two of us. shaking their heads. Send my sincere sympathy, will be up in May for Ken’s service. You take care. Carol
I worked a lot with Ken in the past, both of us on each side of Atlantic ocean and sometimes together in Lancaster. It has always been a great pleasure to exchange or see him because he was more a friend than a colleague. As far as I remember, all common issues we add with work turned to easy things because of his positive mind and his kindness to help everybody.
After our company closing, we continued to exchange news and jokes by mail, the announced of his disease made me very sad. We spoke together by phone but nothing to help him was possible from me
Please, his whole family and numerous friends, accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts are with you in memory of such nice man Ken was.
RIP Ken
