I am sorry to hear that Ken has passed. I had the pleasure to get to know him doing physical therapy with him in the past and playing cards in your basement there with a group of guys. Always remember him for his genuine ways. So sorry and you all have my sympathy. May God bless you in the days ahead. Love you all. Jim Wurm
Susie, so sorry to hear about Ken. We didn’t spend that much time with you and Ken but the time we did spend was very enjoyable. Ken was a very nice and friendly person as you are too! We are praying for you and your family.
Susie, Chris & Matt, so sorry to hear about Kenny. He had actually been on my mind lately. I spoke with him at Drug Mart a couple of months ago and it was the first time I had seen him since he retired. Always liked working and joking around with him. He will surely be missed. Sandy and I have all of you in our hearts and prayers.
We are so sorry for the loss of Kenny. Thought the world of him. May God give you and the family all the strength you need to get through this sad time.

Susie, Mom just told me the news. I was going to call you tonight, but after getting kids to bed, I felt it may be too late. I sent Chris and Matt messages through Facebook, but wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I really enjoyed working for Kenny while I was still at home and on 324 for the Summer. Even though Dad was a pressman and you all close friends, I still felt like I had to earn his respect…and didn’t take it for granted. I wanted to do a good job for him out of pride, and it made me proud to make him happy. Though it’s been awhile since I seen you all, I feel your loss and am keeping you in my prayers. Mark
