My son, just back from Ken’s memorial. So pleased so many family
and friends attended the memorial for Ken who was a cherished
member of my family. Joel will miss his Dad terribly but in the
end it will strengthen his character knowing what a compassionate
man he was….a soul to emulate.
Much love to you all .
