Never truly a "goodbye", just more of a "see ya later". I think someone said it before, but life on earth is just the preparation. God be with you and your family Ken. You'll remain in our prayers for strength and healing.

Ken,



Only 7 months ago I wore your shoes. A similar pair at the least. My dad has always been my best friend and in November, he lost the battle to Cancer of the Brain.



I miss him terribly and the void is immeasurable however, the memories and love we shared helps me get through the rough spots.



In the beginning, we all prayed for a cure and begged the good Lord for a Miracle. As time went on my dad started to tell us not to worry about the Miracle, pray for God's will to be done.



I still don't understand why he had to go but, I trust with all my heart that he is much happier now than he was during his short stay here.



I wish you and your family the best. Just remember to smile and think nothing but good thoughts. It will be harder than anything you have ever done but, your dad would want it no other way.



Kindest regards,







Chad L. Dwyer

 

[Mike Levesque]

[Mark Hofman]

Deepest sympathies to you and your family, Ken. No words can soothe your sense of loss, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[Richard Whittemore]

Your Dad is in a better place, as long as you live, and your sons and theirs he lives in them. Remember your Dad and do all you can to help your boys remember him.

Even after 16 years I still hear things like "Dad used to laugh like that" and "you look more like him everyday". Tell me my Dad is dead... know what I mean.

God's love and peace be with you.

 

[Bill McElroy]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss Ken,...but there's no doubt you made the right decision....call me sometime..we'll hang out on the boat with a C&L and a couple lines in the water!!

[Paul Mazza]

Ken:

My condolences to you and your family. I appreciate your pain as I lost my youngest sister in January. Her essence departed its body but she's not gone. She lives in my mind and in my heart. I sense her in the rain shower and I feel her in the rainbow thereafter.

I wish the same for you...

I lost my dad when I was just 16 years old. I still miss him but I know he must be thrilled that I've passed on the love of fishing to his grandson. Your dad will live forever in the minds of you and your children.

[Greg Meyer]

Ken,



Got up this morning with you on my mind... I pray that you will find comfort in your faith and being with friends and family. It not good-bye... It's "see you soon"... And, now all his hooksets will be perfect... no boatside releases or sheepheads!!! God bless you and yours.



Greg

 

[Bill McElroy]

The funeral is going on now as we speak (well,..type)..it started at noon. I will send a sympathy card to Ken on behalf of ALL of us at the NTOWS. Will also send one to Jill Cicero regarding the loss of her Mother....from all of us!

 

[Mark Hofman]

Thanks, Mac!



Ken, now that the funeral is over, (and this is for Jill and Marke, and Richard as well) I just want to let you (and your family) continue to be on my prayer list. When the pain and tears seem to be the greatest, try to remind yourself that it wouldn't be that way if you didn't love him (her) so much.



I didn't know what "mourning" meant until we had the funeral for my grandfather. He was a pastor - and a darn good one. When the presiding pastor spoke the words, "Well done faithful servant," I mourned in my life for the first time and couldn't control it. I almost had to leave the church, but my wife and aunt were there to provide comfort and reassurance.



How sad it is when someone is gone and no one is there to mourn for them. We're here if you need the comfort and reassurance. (Matthew 5:4)

ken:

my condolences to you and your family.i know it is a diffuclt time for you and the family,but remember he will be with you watching over you and the family always.



i went through it with my dad in 98,he passed away in the house here while i was at work,but my mom and son were here at the time,luckly my brother was here to take my son out of the house while we had the funeral home come and take him out for the arrangements.it was diffucult for all of us but we all made it through pretty well.



my dad smoked igars,and there has been times we all smelled them,wether it be in the house,with no one around,or outside in the yard,where he liked to be,it was his way of saying im keeping an eye on you all.



ken,my sympathys to you and your family.
