Kirk, Celeste, and Brenda: Ken was a wonderful friend to me and both of my children, encouraging us to be the best we could be, especially during times that were trying for us. Three things that stood out in the many conversations I had with him were his love for the three of you, his generosity to anyone who crossed his path, and his drive to improve himself. I have not seen him since I moved to Fayetteville, but I've heard from Walter about his condition and the good care you gave him. I hope knowing that you cared for him so well will help you during this difficult time. Mina Marsh Robert Austin, and Annalea Cassell

Dear Celeste and Family, I have been greatly impressed by the loving care given Ken during these trying last years and was especially pleased by the wonderful tribute given by Celeste. Celeste, I know you don't remember me, but my wife, Martha Nixon, PT, asked me to send her condolences and best wishes for you and your family. You may care to know that our circle of friends has been celebrating Ken's life in our own ways. Prehaps Tom (Sarlo) will fill you in on the particuliars one of these days. Our relationship with Ken and his family has been a great pleasure through the years. May you all build solidly upon the foundation he made possible by his life. Sincerely, David McCullough

My Dad and I were the owners of The Cafe, a downtown restaurant. Ken came there almost daily for most of the 10 years we were open and we considered him to be a good friend. After my Dad passed away, Ken continued to be a loyal customer and a good friend. He will definitely be missed. My sympathies go out to Don and his family for their loss.

Dear Don and Alice: Ken was an Al-Anon friend for several years and I watched Ken and Eleanor fall in love and get married and have a life together. Ken was a bright spot in my book of life and I liked what it said in the paper because it was so true: He never saw a need that went unmet if he could possibly fix it. He's up there helping God as we speak... Love and Blessings to all who knew Ken, Patsy

I have many fond memories of Ken and I elbowing and hipping each other on the basketball court when competing in intramural basketball at Hendrix College. I ran into him one time many years ago in Tulsa, but have not had any contact with him since that time. I always enjoyed being around him at Hendrix, and considered him to be a good friend and a fine man. I extend my sympathies to you, his family, at this time of your loss.
