Dad - you will forever be missed, but never forgotten.

To the Rudolf Family I knew Ken when he went to St John's Tech.  I hung around with Carolyn (his sister).  I remember he played football.  By the sounds of these comments here, Ken was still as nice as he was back in school. Gone is the face we loved so dear.  Silent is the voice we loved to hear. Too far away for sight and speech, but not too far for thoughts to reach. Sweet to remember him who once was here, and who though absent is just as dear to all of us. My condolences to Carolyn and Bill Josie and John Wilsbech❤.

Brian, your Father was a treat to work with. I apprenticed under him for a brief time at Basar Heating. And worked side by side with him for many years after. And throughout he was the truest man I know. You were one of the good ones Kenny. RIP Darrel Klassen

Was Ken's neighbours for 45 years. Our sons played together. Always saw him walking everywhere and admired his pluck. Rest in peace. Condolences to Brian and family.
