Phil Nearing wrote a sympathy message

“Sincere condolences to Marsha and the entire Kock family on the passing of Ken. 😪I worked with Ken for several years during the late 1990's and remember fondly his trips to the Come-by-Chance Refinery in Newfoundland to assist me with developing new business. Although I was only with Petrolite for a few years, we kept in touch afterwards by email. I always found Ken to be personable, professional and very helpful. An all round great guy. 👍Sending hugs and prayers to everyone. 💕🙏 Take care.”
