My sincere sympathies to your family on the passing of a great, kind, dear man. I so enjoyed our chats and laughter when we worked for DOL at Ft McCoy. He was a great person to know and We'll always remember. God Bless

My dear Marsha, words can not describe how I feel. We really regret we couldn't be there with you and the children.
My brother & I were separated for 12 years. We found each other and it was as if those 12 years were never missed.
We had good times together in Michigan, Wisconsin and don't forget the Chicago trip!
Watching you and Buddy raising 3 beautiful children and bringing them to Michigan on vacation so often was a joy. It's been a pleasure having you as a sister-in-law. I know my brother is proud of you, the children and grandchildren.
I loved my brother very much and will miss him dearly.
All our love, Patti, David, Terry, Kimberly, Satonya and London.

So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Our condolences to his entire family. At one point we lived near the Herolds on North St and knew Marsha in her younger years. Then later, Joyce recalls having Charity in Kindergarten.
It was always a pleasure to see Ken and Marsha out and about in Sparta. Ken was a great guy. We know his presence will be missed.

Marsha and Family
It was with great sadness to hear of Ken's passing. Ken and I entered the Ft. McCoy
family about the same time. We always shared family stories when we saw each other.
He would proudly beam as he talked about his family. I am a better person for having
known Ken. Loved him like family. Truly will never forget him ( and his laugh.)
Ken may you rest in peace.

Marsha and Kids,
My heart is terribly sad for you today. My most fond memory of Kenny is his laugh. I don't know that words can describe properly. But I know, as a kid and on occasion as an adult, when I heard that laugh it filled me with joy. I have memories of our families being together and Mom and Dad sitting around the kitchen table with Kenny and Marsha and just hearing that laugh.
I'm not sure that my words can do justice. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I know that Kenny is at peace with his heavenly Father and looking on you all and continuing to give you his love.
