To Linda and family. Was sorry and saddened to hear of Ken’s passing. He is home with his maker. Thank you Jesus. It would take a bunch of pages to tell all the fun and laughs we had thru school and the breakfasts. These are the memories to hold on to. Ken will be missed. With love and condolences. Tim and Mary Ann Hoffman.

I only knew John through our F&M shuttle driving, but he was a joy to know and we always had enlightening conversations. I considered him my friend. May God’s Blessings and His Peace be with all of you.
