Mary and family -- It is with extreme sadness Jean and I share your news. What a great treat to visit when in London, have a great meal (prepared and served by the best) and have fellowship with Ken and you. Ken was a great friend and we will miss him terribly. Please know that we are praying and thinking of you and your family at this time and for many days ahead. As our sadness continues we live with wonderful memories that we can cherish and remember forever. Ken's pain and suffering is now over as he leaves us for the next chapter with our Father in Heaven. May the grace of God, which passes all understanding be with you today and always. Our Love to you Mary -- Jean and Buzz

Dear Mary and the VanDyk family. It is with a heavy heart that we should say good bye to Ken. He was a strong, powerful man who cared tremendously for our community. He always had a smile and a few kind words to share with Dennis and I. Ken was a pillar to our Hickory Hills community and his presence will be missed. We are so very sorry for your loss and hope each of you may find strength in those around you. "Weeping may endure for the night but joy cometh in the morning". Safe passage Ken. Condolences from Janine and Dennis.
