Ken was a man of many talents. He built his home in Ravensdale with the help of his wife and two children. He rebuilt his Piper J4 Cub airplane in his shop and “test piloted” it himself. He loved being out in the boat with his family or friends fishing, crabbing, and just cruising around. He enjoyed flying his plane, snowmobiling, hunting, camping, fishing, and clam digging – all things outdoors.

Ken, you were such an important part of our lives and you are loved and missed so very much. So thankful that we will see you again in Heaven.

(John 14:13) “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am.”
