Sioux Falls, SD Wednesday, April 20, 2016 As I learn of Ken's passing, I think of the memories of Ken when I was a member, at Salem Lutheran Church in Fremont. Ken was such a kind, helpful, funny and giving kind of person. My deepest sympathy to Alberta and the families. May you find comfort in those who hold you up in love and prayers!Bob Christensen
