Kenny, as I knew him was my cousin.  I hadn't seen him since we were very young.  I remember us playing as kids when our families would get together.  He was  always kind, always smiling, and funny.   When I read all the memories people have written of him, I can tell he never changed.  He touched  so many in his life with his kindness, smile and sense of humor.

Rest in peace, Kenny.  We will see you again!   

My older brother Bob met Ken while working at Dodge Park IV on Cass Lake, and so to say brought him to us.  Ken easily fit in with our family, and we enjoyed his company, respect, humor and good cheer. Our Mother, may she Rest In Peace, always said that Ken was a genuinely good guy, that he was raised properly and pointed to him as an example for we younger men to emulate.  We are all saddened by Ken’s passing.

To a good friend and colleague.  He will surely be missed.   Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Tim and Jan Holysz 

I only knew Ken for about 8 years but enjoyed working with him at Grand Valley and saw his beautiful work he did throughout campus.  I'll miss the talks, the lovely pictures of his flowers and plants and the humming birds!    It will take alot to replace Ken here - you will be missed!!!!!!!!  


As a friend and green-industry colleague for 20+ years, Ken's passing is so very sad. His passion for the work and dedicated support of the industry will be missed by many. I will miss sharing beers and swapping stories with Ken. Rest well, my friend.

The Greens Industry lost a great professional.  More importantly though, Ken's passing represents the loss of a tremendous individual. We express our sincere condolences.

Ken's death is one of the saddest times in our lives.  He was a new neighbor who became a close friend and will be missed as both. Wish we could turn back the clock.

Every time I had occasion to talk with Ken his kindness, interest in others, and helpfulness were obvious.  He will be missed.   Jude Hofman

Befriender of many. Stranger to few. A positive force but in a very kind and subtle way. Saddened to hear of his much too early passing. He will be missed.

We were so sad to hear about Ken.  As a friend and a neighbor for the past several years, we will miss him a great deal.  Our most sincere condolences to the Stanton family.

I wouldn't be a CGM if it wasn't for Ken. I was having some issues with my portfolio, he got involved and helped me through the process.  We also attended a couple of conferences together.  He was always willing to slow life down a little bit and talk to a stranger or mentor a peer. I visited him at GVSU and he had a genuine love of that place and his role with the campus and students.  Goodbye my friend. You will be missed

I extend my sincerest condolences to the Stanton family, relatives and friends. I got to know Ken through professional engagements with PGMS. He was a great colleague and a wonderful friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

So Sad to hear of Ken's passing. His spirit lives on through his work on creating a beautiful campus for all to enjoy. We in this industry are blessed to work in God's creation and Ken was a dutiful worker in that garden. Rest in God's loving embrace...Eric Nelson

Godspeed, always enjoyed visiting with Ken at the GIE-Expo, sharing knowledge and experiences.

My condolences to Ken's family and friends.  Ken was a welcoming presence when I first joined the PGMS.

My thoughts and prayers for Ken's family and friend's at this sad time. Ken was a great friend and mentor, who's love for landscape gardening was contagious. Ken was a man who modeled kindness, honesty, strong work ethic and professionalism. I will miss him sharing his knowledge, experiences and quick humor. It is an honor to have known Ken. Rest in peace dear friend, until someday when we arise, on that bright and glorious morning. 

Ken was a close friend and co-worker for 17.5 years. He was one of the finest grounds supervisors in the country. We enjoyed going to lunch, bike riding, and cruises in my old Corvette. You will be missed my friend!

I enjoyed Ken's participation in many workshops and educational programs offered through MNLA and MSU.  It was always a pleasure to interact with him.
I am deeply sorry for his passing. He will be missed.

 Ken was a true ambassador of the industry , going to miss his words of wisdom !

Ken was a mentor and friend to me and he will be greatly missed by so many,I will miss his input, our talks and his quick witted jokes. May God heal his friends and family in this time.

Wishing you peace to bring you comfort and memories to forever hold in your heart.  
Ken will be greatly missed.

I'm thankful for Ken's friendship and encouragement particularly as a professional in grounds management.  I will miss him.

Ken was a good friend and co-worker.  He loved to fish with Guide and friend Grant Schliewe of Twin Lakes.  Your career of seeing the landscaping at GVSU made the campus a place of beauty and inspiration.  You will be dearly missed by me and all.

To Ken's family, may God comfort you with His peace. Ken was a dear friend - kind, thoughtful and sincere. We spent many happy times together - biking, going to lunch or simply hanging out. He loved talking about fishing and gardening. I also remember going condo shopping with him and then furniture shopping to furnish it. Ken had a wonderful sense of humor and will be deeply missed. Knowing that he was a man of faith is a true comfort - we WILL see him again one day!

God takes care of all his children and until we meet again kindest thoughts-Tony Oosting

May God's loving kindness comfort you and help you through this very sad time
