Beth, Linda, and Greg, I wish I could have stayed in town and spoken to you in person. I was fortunate to be able to have a short visit with your mom.  I have many warm memories of your dad as we, the neighborhood children, grew up. Many times when I was back to visit mom and dad, I would see Ken out in back and we would have a nice chat over the backyard fence. I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank the Lord for the true gift of Ken Lauer in our lives for so many years.

Beth, my sympathies to you and your family.  Pearline Gatewood

My sympathies to the Lauer family at this most difficult time. May your memories be a comfort

The Lauer family is in my thoughts and prayers this week!  Carl Kilduski  Betty, Roscoe, and Dave too....

Dear Jo and family, Our years next door were the best.  As we have gone far from Tacoma, we have tried to carry forward the spirit of neighborliness that you and Ken lavished on us.  Peter is now grown but his world was shaped by the early years and going to Mr. Lauer's library. Ken would take an interest to show him a special exhibit or new book. He was our Mr. Lauer and we will carry him in our hearts always.

Mr Lauer was such a kind gentleman and helpful in many ways. My sympathy to you.  Kay R. Roberts

You are all in my heart. I remember him as a gracious, kind man.

Wishing the entire family peace at this sad time. I also have many great memories working with Ken.

Deepest Condolences to the entire family for your loss. He touched so many lives in so many ways and will be remembered fondly and missed dearly. Greg and Cathy (Husar) Bell

I enjoyed the brief time I worked with Ken Lauer at the Shawnee Branch during the summer of 1993 just prior to his retirement. Ken helped my beginning as librarian to be a pleasant one.

Beth, Linda, Greg and Mrs. Lauer, my prayers are with all of you during this time of loss.  I have so many great memories growing up with your family that I will treasure forever.   Lots of love and God bless,  Lori Harris - Casiano

SO SORRY TO SEE HIM LEAVE US ALL.  WHAT A GENTLEMAN AND KIND PERSON TO HAVE ALL THESE YEARS.   KEN YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL.   HELEN M. CELAREK

Dear Jo, Beth, Linda, and Greg I am so sorry for your loss. I regret being so far away I won't be able to attend the service. When my daughter Melissa showed an interest in reading we frequently visited the library near Southgate. I remember walking in and seeing Ken, telling Melissa how our family knew him. He was a kind and gentle soul. He will be greatly missed. You and your family are in my prayers.

To all of Ken's beloved family we send our most heartfelt love and prayers. Never was there such a beloved man. He was the most beloved head of his children and grandchildren, and even of those who were fortunate enough to be friends of his children. To you Grammy Jo, Greg, Joletta, Beth, Linda, Austin, Braden, and Audrey we share in your sorrow and love for this most precious of men. 

Lovingly, Paul, Kris, Olivia, Gabrielle, Adrianna, Avamarie, and Christian Koehler.

Dear Jo and family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and father,Ken. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God give you strength and may you hold on to all of those cherished memories that you had together.
Kent and Geralyn Hagenbush and family

Dear Jo,
I got to know Ken at South Side and he was always full of enthusiasm and with a friendly smile.  It is good that you are surrounded with love and peace from the family and friends.  It is always difficult to lose a friend and a husband.  Thinking of you.

Dear Jo & Beth,
It is so tough to lose a Best Friend.It was a real blessing in my life to know such a very nice guy!

My sympathies to all the family. As a librarian and co-worker with Ken, I had great respect for his knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness. It was a pleasure working with him. He will be greatly missed but his memory will be treasured and inspiring.

Dear Jo,
My sympathy and prayers for you and your family. There are many happy memories of Ken and our grade school days at St. John's.
                  Rita Clemmer

Dear Jo, You and your family have my deepest sympathy.  I valued our friendship over the years, and I was looking forward to hearing from you this Christmas.  Now I know why I have not heard.  God continue to bless you.  I read and remembered every word in the obituary.  I love you.  Mary Anne Brown

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.  MAY YOU DRAW CLOSE TO OUR LOVING GOD BY READING HIS WORD,  AND FIND COMFORT IN THE HOPE THAT HE GIVES US ALL  :  OF SEEING OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN IN A BEAUTIFUL NEW PARADISE HERE ON EARTH.
