Pat, Debbie,Jeff, Scott and Thomas;

Our Deepest Sympathy.
The Dates on Ken's tombstone will read :
September 10, 1927 - April 17, 2008 However,
What matters most of all here on earth is not the beginning date or the ending date, but the "dash"
between them.
Fot the dash represents all the time that he spent here on earth and now only the folks that loved him know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much he owned, or the car that he drove, the house he lived in or the cash he had in the bank. What matters is how he lived and loved and how he spent his "dash".

My memory's are priceless. We are so glad that
we were a part of his "dash".

Love Gay and Lorraine Baganz

Our sympathies to the family gathered in Virginia,for brother Ken.
He will be greatly missed by all of us here in Wisconsin also.
He was always someone for me to look up to and I enjoyed all the phone calls recently with Ken and Pat. I wish I could be there for support at this difficult time.
Pat, please remember, we are just a phone call away and our support will be there for whatever we can do.
We love you all and look forward to seeing you soon.
Love Judy and Claude Kent
