I remember Kenny from high school…..he was one of the good guys.
The world seems to lose the good guys too soon in life.
So sorry for your loss.
May the angels lead Ken to paradise and heaven. May God bless him with everlasting life, peace and happiness! Ken was my best friend when we lived in the dorms at University of Akron. Both of us later joined T.K.E. Fraternity (same pledge group April 9, 1972) and were initiated on May 26, 1972. I have missed my friend all these years since our college days! He will be missed by all his pledge brothers and Fraternity brothers. Yours in the Bond!
Ken will be missed. Uwe and I were on the same floor at U of Akron as Ken and we were in the same pledge class. Uwe and I were ,a short while ago, were going to look Ken up. Ken, May the peace of the Lord find you and surround you.
Good afternoon, I would like to extend my most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Heizer. I don’t remember exactly when we met here at Cleveland Public Library but I always enjoyed each and every time I got a chance to see him. We’d talk sports all the time which was great! My mother retired from CPL in early 2008 and she had a lot of love for him too. I just found out today that he passed last year, all of our libraries were closed around the time he transitioned so the word wasn’t spread amongst the staff. Again, all of my prayers and blessings are with him and his loved ones. Peace.
