Our deepest sympathy to Joy and the family. Ken was a SUPER guy. Loved to bowl against him. He was competitive, but encouraging. May the Lord grant the family peace, comfort and assurance, and may Ken rest in peace with light perpetual shining upon him. The Thursday Seniors Bowling League miss them both.
