Dear Shirley and Family, We were so very sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. We have many great memories of times spent with my Parents, Sheila and Dick Murphy along with Ken and Shirley and their very special Pals. Ken was a great help when my Dad had to have his radiation treatment and it was always all for one and one for all in their group. Sending our love and deepest sympathy, Kerry and Bob Green - Posted by: Kerry and Bob Green (Friends) on: Jan 27, 2018

Ken was a great athlete as evidenced by his baseball and hockey teams being inducted into their respective Halls of Fame. More importantly Ken was such a fine person! I admired him as an individual long before becoming his teammate on baseball teams. We long ago forgave Ken for coming into our Fort Rouge neighborhood and leaving with one of our prizes....Shirley Brennan! My sincere condolences to Shirley and all of Ken's family! - Posted by: John Rendall (former teammate and friend) on: Jan 27, 2018
