Ken and I both worked at DuPont..he was a programmer and I was a computer statician...he was always pleasant and down to earth and fun guy to be around.....We talked mostly about work and cars.
I'll always remember that when was leaving the parking lot, on his last day at Dupont's, he spotted me returning from lunch and made a special effort to drive over to say good-by and to wish me good luck..

I retired in 2005...I wish I took the time to see him and catch up on things

We are so sorry for your loss, our love and prayers to all of you.

Doreen and Brennan: We have loved having Ken as our neighbor for so many years. His loving, kind ways to everyone he came in contact with will be sorely missed, along with seeing him enjoying cutting those fields on his tractors. May you take comfort in being assured we will once again see him where there is no more sorrow, sickness or death. God bless your family, praying for comfort now and ongoing. The Heil's
