Ken will be missed. I think of the many ball games we watched with Ken and Sarah and all the smiles he gave at Hope CRC. We know he's enjoying Heaven and the glorious celebration there.

Ken was a great neighbor. Always enjoyed talking with him. Also enjoyed our time on the golf course. May God be with the family at this time. Will see him again someday. God bless you Ken.
