    Thank you to all for the comments and condolences. Ken’s funeral was very meaningful, with each of his adult kids telling stories about their dad, and then a military ceremony at the grave site (he served honorably on a Navy minesweeper during WWII) that couldn’t have been more moving. It was a very fitting send-off for a great man.

    I likewise was blessed by a Father-in-Law cut from the same cloth as yours. Not only did he save and invest so he could give to our family, I was able to help him with his taxes in the last year of his life and his final taxes this year. Wow, a tax return is a very telling statement of one’s generosity. He was my career mentor, may he also be my example going forward in the area of generousity. To both you and I, I say, to him whom much is given, much will be required. I am with you in thoughts of inadequacy having lived among a “giant.” Let’s get after it.

    Beautiful tribute to your father in law Matt. What a wonderful legacy. There isn’t a greater compliment than to be called a thrifty person, yet a lavish giver.

    My condolences to all of you on the loss of such a good man. He was both blessed by and a blessing to those around him, it is clear. God bless.
