Ken and Rose together again. When you see a beautiful sunset, it is a Heavenly quilt they are making. Barbara Harris
So sorry to learn of Ken’s passing. It was always a pleasure to see him at Calico events, whether he was bringing your Mother, Rose, several years ago, or joining in himself in later years. My prayers are with you all.

Dear Kim and Kris, I was sorry to hear about your dad. I was glad to see him last April at the Quilt Show. Remember the year we had 3 men enter their quilts?
He was a gentle soul. Take care….
Ken will be missed on Wasatch Drive. So sorry for your loss.
