He is survived by his sons Bruce (Jane), Brad (Rebecca) and Brian (Elaine); grandchildren Maggie, Molly (Wylie) Hobbs, Wendy, Aaron, Isaac and Nathan.

Ken will be buried with Peg in Highland Cemetery in Havre on a date yet to be determined.

Our family suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Ken's name to the Good Samaritan Society, Loveland Village or a nursing home of your choice.

We are so grateful for the outstanding loving care provided to Dad by the staff of Good Samaritan Society over the past year.
