Our deepest sympathy to all who loved Ken. From just the few wonderful years we knew him, he has left a lasting positive influence on our family. He was a welcome comfort to have around during our summer vacations at Hebgan Lake Cabin. I too have a great love for the outdoors and on occasion had the pleasure of swapping backpacking stories with Ken. I collected editorials from every newspaper I could find to share with him when visits were upcoming, because I knew he loved reading the variety, and I loved hearing his review of the various writers. We will truly miss your wisdom and wit Ken, and especially your genuine kindness and tenderness. God Bless. Paige, Roberta, Zachary, & Wyatt
