Our Dad and Mom both gave us a great life full of wonderful memories. They did without for us. My Dad gets to be with his bride(he called Mom that a lot) again. Happy for him and sad for us. He was the greatest Dad,Uncle, brother,Grandpa and friend. Love you forever and always, Dad
Ken, the older handsome big brother to my high school best friend, Mary, was always kind.
Ken was our neighbor.
We always enjoyed talking to him,
Hearing his stories. One day he told me about THE SHRINE of CHRIST PASSION
in St. John, IN. I went. ❤️
Thank you Ken for telling me about that AMAZING BLESSED place.ߙ
We love you and will miss you so much.
Love
Carol and Bill Losh
How do you choose a memory when there are so many
Mine is not a memory but a thought when I would call Fetsch as I called him for 53 years,I would say what’s up Fetsch and he always said Hey You, how the hell are you. Iam going to miss that so much,Ken never had a bad thing to say ever,always so kind and respectful that it was so normal to return the same. He is in heaven with his other brother Bill ( Joe) to my side but I know there is nother Fetsch like him ,Rest in the arms of our Lord feel his love and strength and get the rest you so so deserve. Love you my friend and say hi to all the souls that welcomed you into heaven. Sue Wilson
Great picture Ali
Kenny you will so missed words can’t say how much rest in the warmth of our Lord and be held in Angels wings.
Elaine I wish I could be there with you to help support you through this difficult time.
There are no words. No words can ever be enough to thank Dad, and Mom, for the wonderful life they gave us. I have always said that I would never change anything about the way we were raised and loved. Dad was like no other man I have ever met. God and family were the most important things to him and it was evident in the way he lived his life. The crazy/funny things he’d tell us when we were kids are still in my mind. Kids would actually come to our house and ask if our Dad could come out and play, so he would. Such an amazing man and the best Dad a girl could ever ask for. I’m going to miss our several phone calls every week. I have 14 saved messages from him on my phone and I am so very glad I do. My heart is broken and I will miss him so very much. I love you Dad. Thank you for being my Dad ❤️❤️
Ken
Even though our time together as Husband
and Wife was cut short. I will always cherish
the fond memories we’ve made. To my Handsome, Wonderful, Sweet Husband….
Sweetie “Thank You” for Loving Me! Elaine
Dad this was the first Christmas without you. Wow! All these first’s without you are going to be so dang hard. I miss you and Mom so much. That’s ok because missing you means you were/are so loved. I still can’t believe your are gone. It was so difficult to lose Mom but at least we still had you. With both of you gone, it’s so hard but at least you two are together again. Merry first Christmas in heaven Dad. Love and miss you beyond words.
