Dear Uncle Paul and Aunt Donna, My deepest sympathy go out to you. My heart is hurting that Ken was taken from you so early. It seems like forever since I've seen him and yet the memories of our childhood have flooded my memory. I will always treasure our childhood memories as well as the ones as we grew up. It's a shame that as we grow up and move away in my case that you tend to lose touch. Just know that my love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you. He will truly be missed but never forgotten. All my love, Kellie

My heart and prayers go out to Donna and Paul Santschi, and to my best friend Maggie. Besides being a fiercely loyal person to those close to him, Paul will long be remembered by so many more for his incredible art work – I still have some of his first shirts. He was someone gifted with an enormous amount of talent. I cannot imagine the pain at this time, but please know he will always be a part of the lives he touched.
