Condolence: Dear Betty & the family: Our deepest sympathy & sincere condolences on the loss of dear Ken. Death of a loved one is never easy, however there should also be some joy in recognizing a long, fruitful, meaningful life well lived. We shall never know how many people Ken touched during his time & service here on earth! In the Biblical sense he was a "Gentle Man" & "a man without guile". Sadly we shall not see his like again! As St Paul so well put it: Ken has fought the good fight, he has finished the race, he has kept the Faith & now has reaped his reward. Requiescat in Pace! May God's "Amazing Grace" be with you all during the difficult days ahead. Love, Blessings & Hugs.

Condolence: Dear Betty & Family;
It is with deep sympathies that we offer our condolences for the loss of Ken. Having worked with Ken in ministry for many years, and as a fellow parishioner, I can attest to his understanding of Jesus' call to serve, not to be served. Ken formed and trained many people in pastoral ministry, and the Church is grateful for his witness, courage, and perseverance in serving God's people. May the Lord sustain you in your time of grief, knowing that Ken has gone to his eternal reward.
With blessings, Deacon Brian & Marguerite Mason

Condolence: So saddened for you and your family. Ken was a very dear man to us. Especially at the 4:30 Sat. Mass. He was there opening the door for my dear mom who was on oxygen for many years. He always had a joke .and something to brighten my Mom,s spirits. She passed 7 years ago. Ken had a special spark in his eyes and reached out to many people. He will be dearly missed. Our prayers are with you.
