Ken told me you now go by Scott but I can’t break a long history.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am also very saddened. Ken and I kept in touch since 2015 after he conducted Warren’s memorial service.
I am very busy being a caregiver for Barbara; she is not an invalid but has many physical difficulties and mild vascular dementia. With all of that, I realized that we had not received Ken’s usual e-card at Christmas and called the other day to check in. After not hearing, I decided to search the internet and discovered the notice of his passing.
I’m not great at this but, again, I am very saddened, and I hope you will be strong.
Sincerely,
Alan
