Andy and I just learned of Ken’s passing by way of Williamson to Ed Hatchigian. Please know our thoughts are with you as well as our prayers.
There is sorrow and sadness now but in time your many wonderful memories will step in of the wonderful life you two shared. I know Andy has many memories of their days at Williamson and both of us will cherish the memories of the 4 of us in years since then, always looking forward to that Christmas card to catch up. Let God’s strength carry you now…much love and sympathy, Andy and Barbara Keller, Charlottesville, VA

Jane,
I just saw this in today’s paper. This makes me hurt for you. I know how close you and Ken were. I am retired from Armstrong and back in Lancaster. If you’d like to get together for lunch, I would love to see you. 980-505-0144..RJShell65@gmail.com. Maybe with Anne Zell? I had planned on going to a service for Ken.
