It was at church that I first
met Ken and Jean shortly after
they moved to Jonesborough.
Ken was a kind and pleasant
man, willing to help, devoted
to his wife Jean, and loved
the Lord. Ken was a great
conversationalist, and his dry
wit and warm smile will be
missed greatly. He is at rest
now with Our Savior, Jesus
