Dear Aunt Janet, Lisa, and Tim,
We are so sorry for your loss and the loss of all who's lives were touched by Uncle Ken. He was a great friend, a great teacher and had a smile that could fix anything. He has certainly made an impact on me from early childhood thru adult life. He inspired me and many others to become pilots and to share his passion for flight. Also, Ken was pretty good with a sailboat, spending countless hours on the bay with our rag-tag crew trying to make the boat go faster. He has left us with many wonderful memories. Uncle Ken has had a life well lived, leaving everyone the better for it.
Robert, Denice, Jason and Brandon.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.
I wanted to share this quote from an unknown author...."When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."
God bless

Dearest Janet:
We are so thankful to have known Ken. He was most certainly a peaceful fighter! Hearing his strong voice will be missed.

Thanks for taking such good care of me after my retirement. Ken, you always made sure a good airplane was close by me so that I could continue yours and my love of flying. The Cessna Corvallis test flight, the 310 flight, Art's Bonanza flights, and finally buying your old Bonanza. I will never forget your friendship, warm smile, and guiding hand (encouragement) with all of them. Keep the blue side up, Ken, and remember to enjoy those eternal tailwinds and following seas.
