Betty and family

We were saddened to learn of Ken's passing.  I will always fondly remember the conversations I had with Ken - usually at the golf course.  Ken was a class act who left a legacy of community that Slayton will always remember.

Betty and family,

I was so sad to hear of Ken's passing.  I have many wonderful memories of your family - you and Ken sitting behind our family every Sunday at Trinity Lutheran.  Ken's awesome work with Pre-K.  And as I recall, I think Ken even approved a college loan for me!  

My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Maybe Ken is sitting behind my mom and dad in services as they worship the King!

Betty and family:  Ken was a great advocate for seniors in Murray County and great advocate for the town and especially the Country Club.  He will be missed by many I am sure.  Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers as you find a new normal without the solid rock of your family.
