Kim, I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember your dad and mom as being so loving towards each other and you and Ken. I read his obituary and suspect that while this is the worst of times for you, peace can be found in the knowledge that your dad is wrapped in the arms of Jesus who says, well done, my good and faithful son. My prayers are with you and your family. Carrie Strzelczyk James.
Charlene and Family,

We are so sorry for the sadness you are enduring at your father’s passing.
We know you look forward to a sweet heavenly reunion.
Praying for peace and comfort for now.
My condolences to the family.
I met Ken in 1979 at Southwest Research Institute. He became my supervisor and also a mentor. He is definitely the kind of man we need in today’s world. I would best describe Ken as a loving person. He was always happy and left a positive impression on our minds. I loved to see him play the guitar and sing with his coworkers. He will be missed but will continue to live in our minds.
In honor of Ken he would probably encourage the younger generation with these words at 1st Corinthians 9:24.
“Do you not know that the runners in a race all run, but only one receives the prize?
Run in such a way that you may win it.”
May God bless.
Charlene, our deepest condolences to you and your family, like a lot of Ken’s friendships started when you were hired at SwRI. Ken was always happy and gave everyone a great feeling everyday of fellowship and happiness.
Ken made you feel like family, always a positive direction, comments and showing you the right way with doing
anything or just feeling good about everything & everyone. The Ansley family came into our lives from the day I met Ken & Bob, and those memories will never go away. Trish & Jack Ballard
He treated people with respect and was well respected. He will be missed by his family and friends.
