This forum will be the poorer for Ken's passing. Our loss, though, is only a fraction of what his family and friends feel. I pray they will be able to find peace and comfort.

condolence

my prayers are with his family but it sounds like his religous pathway brought him to a place better than where he was.

all i can say is that daily i battle with religion and my beleifs on the afterlife. many times i have listned to a sermon stating you never know and that you better be ready. this is a true testament to that.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family, by the responses of fellow friends and members here, it seems as if he was one of those people that makes a difference in one's life

We bear astonished witness to the passage of a tremendous soul...

And while most of us never had the pleasure of knowing Ken personally, I think this thread reflects but a sample of how many people his life touched far and near.

He will be missed...

Oh so Sad is My Heart

I met with Ken three times and was in contact with people who were of the same mind about his kind nature and I keep thinking of his love of life and love of all people that he came into contact. Ken made you feel very comfortable and connected in his presence. I know that with his strong personal conviction to his faith , his God accepted him with open arms. Ken your work 's not over yet.
