It has been an honor to get to know Ken since he and Sybil came to Wisconsin - our gatherings were much richer for them being there. What an amazing and full life! He will be missed...but in the words of Sybil, he's not far away. Our thoughts are with all of you. Danielle, Bert, and Ariel.

We have not know Ken for very long and we truly wish we had. But Ken was one of those rare people who made us feel we had know each other for a life time even though we were still strangers to him at our first meeting. We will forever remember his beautiful smile, his humor, his warmth and so much more. Ken, wherever you are, keep dancing. Our conversations about your love of dancing on roller skates are ringing in our ears right now. We will miss you so very much. Love Sibyl's poem. It is Ken to a T. -- Ling and Randy

My brother-in-law Ken was a gentle, caring and funny man. His sense of humor was sharp and entertaining right till the end. I used to quiz him as to why he had never lost his Yorkshire accent despite having lived in the US for so many years. He always replied "You don't give away anything good!" He was an amazing handyman and could repair, make and design anything he turned his hand to. Skating was his passion and at the ripe old age of 91, he hung up his skates after a lifetime speed and skate dancing but we always enjoy watching the videos of him and Sybil skating in Florida with their dear friend and coach, Terry Spence. I thank you Ken for loving my sister Sybil for so many years, for being a fantastic brother-in-law and for cooking the most delicious roast beef dinners with the best Yorkshire Puddings ever. God bless you Ken. Sharon You cannot see me but you'll feel me in the breeze. You cannot hear me, but my voice is in the trees. You cannot touch me, but my hand is holding yours. You cannot be with me - Yet... but death is just a pause.....
