Words of sympathy

DORIS J HOOVER wrote a sympathy message

“I was sadden to hear of Ken’s passing.   He was a devoted member of the Senior Center, especially the wood carving program, spending hours working to perfection to create the absolute precise object. A gentleman and a true friend.  We all enjoyed his sometimes humorous stories of the past, and his expertise with card playing. He enjoyed the many hours playing with his friends and enjoining a fine dinner once a month. I will miss him. My deepest sympathy to the family.  May God be with you.”
