Fran and Family,
I am saddened to hear of Ken’s passing. Ken and I worked together for many years and he was truly a close friend and co-worker at UPS and after we both retired we remained friends.
I am very fond of his wife Fran too.
God be with you all during this difficult time.

Fran, I am so sorry for your loss. If you and Ginger need anything at all, please let us know.
Nick, Jen, Fran and family,
Ken was always a good friend and partner at UPS. After retirement we remained friends and whenever I returned to Omaha I tried to visit with him when possible. Ken was always a pleasure to spend time with. He will be missed by his many friends. I know his passing will leave an empty spot in your family. I pray that God’s love and peace will comfort you at this tough time.
