“Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and forever dear.”
Hard to believe I’ve known Ken for nearly 50 years working together at Kodak. Many hours or arguments and discussions. Ken was the peacemaker; Fran D’Andrea the machine genius and I was the paper shuffler while we worked together as Foreman in instant print at Kodak. Rest in peace, my friend.
Very sorry to learn of your passing while I was at church today. I always enjoyed seeing you and your wife at Mass.
I’m very sorry to hear of the passing of Ken. We were church buddies for many years. Rest in peace my friend. Jack G.
I was very sorry to hear about your loving husband and will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts. Hold onto all of the beautiful, loving memories you have with your husband and treasure them always. Love and Prayers, Carole Pecor (Michelle’s Mom).
