Deepest sympathy to family, friends, and fellow parishioners of Holy Trinity Parish on Fr. Ken’s passing from my mother, Angeline Henry, currently 106 years of age, and myself. Father Ken gave the blessing at mom’s 100th birthday and visited with her several times over the years. She called him her “New Castle connection” due to his work there at St. Vincent’s and the place she called home after immigrating from Italy when she wa 8 years old. His kindness to her will never be forgotten as will his smile and his faithfulness. God bless you all.

Dear Mrs. Keene and family, As members of a St. John Neuman Parish, we were privileged to serve as Eucharistic ministers with Fr. Ken. His love of The Lord and his warmth were evident to us the first time we met him. We are so sorry for your loss and we pray for peace and comfort for you and your family during this difficult time.
