Debra,Kelly and families,so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. We feel your pain and know that you will miss him. Know that he is in a better place. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
I worked with Ken for 33 years at LSS and have many fond memories of our association. His sense of humor was one of his many attributes and he will be missed by all who knew him. My deepest sympathy to his children and grandchildren. Duane James
I had the great privilege to know Ken for the last 40 years. I enjoyed his quick wit and his down-to-earth wisdom. He always had a way to put a smile on your face. He will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to all of his family and friends. May God Bless you all.
