Marlene & family, my heart goes out to you during this difficult time. I was fortunate enough to get to see you, Marlene, in May of this year and have a little chat of the 'baseball' years. It was so very nice to see you again and I pray that you will find comfort in your journey to sorrow. Maybe Wayne & Ron can have a game of baseball with the Angels. Godspeed...Danielle Giesbrecht - Posted by: Danielle Giesbrecht (Friend) on: Jul 19, 2015

I was shocked to see Ron's name in print. I have often wondered how you folks were making out. By the sounds of the write up you folks managed to put together a pretty nice life. All the best Marlene and Family - Posted by: Doug Sheppard (Old Friend) on: Jul 18, 2015

The world will be missing one of the friendly, caring, patient, welcoming people I have ever met. There are really not many people out there that will allow their kids to invite half a dozen (or more) punks into their home and make them all feel at home! Thoughts and hugs to Mrs. K and all the family. Rest peacefully Mr. K. - Posted by: Christie Smale (Friend of Mr. K's kids) on: Jul 18, 2015
