Lloyd Powell Sandy and family. Even though it may have been inevitable, it is still very difficult losing a loved one. Ken was such a nice guy and I will always remember the interaction between Wayne and Ken at the Lodge. I hope that he and Wayne are sharing a few laughs now. It was great getting to know you, Sandy. We all became a family when visiting at Sunset. Take care. My thoughts are with you. Lloyd

Dear Sandy and Family We want to express our sincere sympathy to all of Ken’s beloved family. We worked closely with Ken when we were on the executive of the T-Bird club (Ken was President) and had a lot of fun and laughs with Ken. He was a gentle soul and a kind person. Take care Sandy
