Carolyn, so sad to read of your dad's passing in the newspaper this week. I always thought he was such a nice guy and such a great friend to my Aunt Fran and Uncle Gene. I remember how he loved to tease us Bunco girls whenever we came over. I am sorry for this loss for you and your family, but glad you had him in your lives for so many years.
If a business owner ever had a "favorite" client, mine was Ken Stephens. It was always a pleasure to see and visit with him. He truly was a wonderful man and I will miss him.
I can't thank you and your family enough for allowing me to enter your home…You shared your life and your love of your family without reservation. I will do my best to thank you by honoring your life and the lives of your family by serving others the same way you honored your wife's memory.
I'll be thinking of all of you today. I know there will be a vast array of family and friends gathering to remember Uncle Ken, and I'm sure that your morning will be bright with fond memories and support.
Carolyn,Bruce,Phil We have truely lost a special person. I loved Ken like he was my own father. All the trips he and Rayona took with mom and dad were really an adventure and the stories told of them are always a delight to hear. I was one of the fortunate to be on the recieving end of some peanut brittle and bloody marys. My most treasured piece is the painting he gave to me a couple of years ago. When I see it I will always remember the smile on his face when he gave it to me. I will miss him terribly but I know he is in a much better place and with those he has loved and missed so much.
We are so sorry for your loss of your loved one. We don't know the exact words to say, but we are your friend and we will help you thru this sad time with our love and support. Love, The Mathis Family
We have lost a long-time neighbor and friend. May he rest in the peace of the Lord and in the company of his beloved wife, Rayona. We wish the best for his family and friends at this difficult time. Fortunately we were among those who enjoyed his peanut brittle and occasional patented Bloody Mary. By the same token, Ken enjoyed Nancy's patented Apple Pie. Too bad Bruce wasn't allowed to have any. We will certainly miss Ken's many words of wisdom.
