Love doesn’t stop because they are gone.
He was a gentle man, and a love of a man.
No, love doesn’t stop because they are gone.

You were there to hold my hand and welcome me into the world, and you were there to shake my hand and see me off to college. I am thankful and fortunate for this, and everything in between. A great man who will be missed more than words can say.

It is an honor to have known Ken for 40 years over his epic lifetime. He and Jessie were wonderful friends and companions to our family over these many years, and our lives have been changed forever by knowing him. While the grief is immense, so is the legacy he left to this earth: how to live a life as a true gentleman – with bravery, class, intellect, kindness, and most of all, with love. My heartfelt condolences to his large and loving family who cherish him so.
