I am a friend of Ken's from Packard Electric and worked with him for many years. Ken always made people laugh and was a real joy to be around. His zeal for life was contagious. My deepest condolences to his family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We will always treasure our friendship with Ken. For the last several years, Ken and Jeanne would visit us in Ohio in the summer where we would golf, go to Lake Erie, eat out often, especially Arnie's in Ravenna and of course visit Handel's Ice Cream. Ken was always pleasant and loved to tease the waitresses when we would go to restaurants. He loved going to the book sale at the Warren Public Library where he would ship home boxes of books that he purchased. We will miss him so much! Love to Jeanne and their families.

I have many fond memories of my older cousin Kenny; who could be persuaded to take his cousin for a motorcycle ride throughout Braceville
and then compliment it with ice cream.

Dear Jeanne and family,
I have fond memories of Ken. He had a wonderful sense of giving himself to many causes and love for his church and family. I will miss his smile and his zest for life. He was a great brother in law who always welcomed me to your home.
May God give you comfort during this difficult time.
With love and sorrow.
Your sisster

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Ken's smiling face from Wintergarden Presbyterian Church. He always made us (my husband, John, and I) feel "welcome" on Sunday mornings. Condolences and prayers to you, Jeanne, and your family.

So sorry for your loss. What a shame he passed on his birthday.. I was born 1 day before...the 2nd, so we had fun with that over the years. Missed him at our reunion this July & was hoping to see him next August. He'll be remembered for his great sense of humor. Where there was laughter, there was Ken. A great guy that passed way to soon. My sympathy to your family.

This is one of my favorite poems and i hope it gives you all comfort:
We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken,And nothing seems the same,But as God calls us one by on,
The Chain Will Link Again.
We love you & miss you,
