Dear Linda, 
I am so sorry to hear about Ken's passing. I always cherished the good memories of the times when I visited you both in Holland, NY, his big laugh, having supper, everyone together....- I felt warmly welcomed in your home. I thank him for having hosted me twice. You know, I lost my dear brother one year and a half ago - he was not sick - and suddenly he was gone - it's hard today, but I do believe we shall meet again. And the good memories are our treasures that can make them live within us forever.

Linda and family,  we are saddened to hear of Ken's passing. Whenever I think of Ken I smile and chuckle a bit inside.  He made us all laugh. When I moved out to Holland NY, he watched out for me and helped me. I will never forget all the ATV rides over to your house with friends.  I wish my family could have visited both of you at Rushford lake, I am sorry now that did not happen. There is so much that could be said and so many funny stories that could be told.  Ken will be missed. I am grateful for his friendship.
Our hearts go out to you and your family.
Steve & Cathie Pawig, Holland N.Y.

Dear Linda, Our heart goes out to you and your family. Ken will be missed sitting on our deck, watching the fire burning in the pit on our deck, having a social. I loved his humor, his wit, his outlook on life. He was a very interesting man and I loved to listen to him. He will be missed by not only Vickie and I but anyone who had the honor of meeting and talking with him. What a great guy.
