Carolyn and family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. From the first time we met Ken, we knew he was a special person. We enjoyed the times we were able to spend with him and know he will be missed by all whose life he touched. I remember the last time we were all together at dinner (in Naples) and loved the stories he told of his experiences. God bless you and to Ken - "Semper Fi!"

Tom, Teresa, and boys, I know too well what you are feeling at this time, and I am so sorry. I hope you are comforted to know that now you no longer need to pick up a phone or travel to Fort Wayne to speak to your dad/grandfather. For now he is forever close by and tuned in to whatever you want to share with him.

To Carolyn, Thomas & Brad, I would like to offer my sincerest compassion to you during this time and let you know how much I loved and respected Ken in this life, and will always remember him in my heart. He has been an inspiration since the first day I met him at Magnavox. Our relationship grew through the Chapel during Men's Fraternity and in Haiti during missions’ trips. May the LORD comfort and keep you through this time of grief.
Much love to you, Thomas Black, Fort Wayne

To Carolyn & Family, A light has gone out in alot of our lives, the brightest in yours. To me he was "Ornery", to which he always said, "That's Honorary". I will so miss his smile, warmth, humor, and orneriness. Carolyn, what will stick with me is the love whenever he spoke to you, or about you. You both have been so blessed to have each other. Much love, thoughts, & prayers

Dear Carolyn, I just read of Ken's passing. I am so sorry for you and your families loss. I have fond memories of you and Ken. The care you gave each other showed the love you shared. He had a special wit and a twinkle in his eyes. May he be riding the bike he dreamed of having as he awaits the arrival of you his true love in heaven. May you find comfort in knowing that now he is in the Lord's loving care. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
