I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. Praying for God’s grace to surround you today and in the days ahead.
Your friend from Ca Center.

Ken’s service to us as a pharmacist was very appreciated. I understand that he also made calls as a “first responder” – he would have been the first person to support the replacement of the “old Marmion” building with narrow and impossible stairs to transport our sisters down to the ambulance. He also volunteered in these later years.
Thank you, Ken, for your loving care,

I am so sorry for the loss of your Father.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Ken was a man of steadfast principle, moral character and loyalty. He was committed to the profession of pharmacy and an exemplary mentor that was quick to share his knowledge and experience. It was a joy and an honor to work with Ken. He enjoyed joking and bantering with his coworkers and friends and always had a listening ear when you were having a bad day. He generously shared candy, like Bit-O-Honey’s and Smarties, with his coworkers. He became a friend and will be sorely missed.

Thinking of you Audrey and your family and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember and honor Ken’s remarkable life.

My heart hurts for you all. Above all else Ken loved his family. He took such pride in his kids, grandkids, sisters, nieces, nephews and their families. He was quick with a smile, joke and helping hand. I have many fond memories from my friendship that I will hold dear. Celebrate his life well lived!
