Marilyn, Kevin, Lisa & family

Our sincere sympathy for the loss of Ken. He was a kind and gentle man and he will always be remembered as a great friend to Ken and myself. Ken & Marilyn were so excited to be given the chance to move into suite number 313, just sorry it took so long.

Rest in Peace Ken. 

Ken & Evette SILZER

Dear Marilyn, Lisa, Kevin and families.
We are so sorry for your loss. We hope that all of your good memories will help you through this tough time. We all will miss Ken very much. I have so many wonderful, happy, not to be forgotten memories growing up and living with Ken in the good old days. He was more than my Cousin,  he was my Big brother. We will deeply miss him and his caring and happy personality.
Our sincerest Condolences, with love from Dennis and Jerri Orb.

Marilyn and Family,
We were saddened to read that Ken has passed away.  Ken was a great help when Kelcie moved into the condo.  We send our sincere condolences to each of you.  He had a long life that was well lived and his greatest legacy is his family.  May your treasured memories help you in this time of sadness and in the days ahead.  Take care.
Rest in Peace, Ken.
Sincerely, Barry, Linda & Kelcie Deren-Mitchall

To know you was to love you. 
You were the most family orientated, hard working, supportive, and kind man I know. I feel very fortunate to have had 30 years to spend with you. Getting to experience first hand the love you had for grandma, your family, and your willingness to help anyone who needed it is something I will cherish forever. I’ll never forget all of the hockey roadtrips where you and grandma were quite literally mine & my team’s biggest fans. I’ll never forget all of the sleepovers doing puzzles, crafts and the Kit Kat that was always in the fridge waiting. I’ll never forget all of the camping bonfires & hot dog roasts. I’ll never forget your 60th anniversary trip in Banff this past summer. Simply put, you were the best. I see so much of you in dad and Tyler and for that I am so thankful for. You will be missed so so much, and I know you’re already proud of everyone. Love you forever Papa 🤍

I have had the privilege of marrying  into the Hassman family and along with that came the ability to know Ken over the last 5 and a half years. It was evident early on for me that he cared deeply for those in his life and would go above and beyond for any of them, but more specifically for is wife Marilyn, who he recently celebrated 60 years of marriage with this summer; his two children; four grandchildren and even grand-pups who he and Marilyn often happily pet-sat for. His family was his everything. He worked hard his whole life but he worked hardest for them. The love and attention Ken gave Marilyn and their marriage is a testament to their 60 years together where even into the final few month's, as Marilyn's eyesight changed, Ken would still sit and paint her nails for her. He loved her in all the big ways and all of the small ways that a dedicated husband does and that naturally was the way he was as a Father to his kids as well. Kevin and Lisa inherited his diligent work ethic, but more than that- they carry on his strong family values and gentle heart. As a Grandfather, there were no miles he wasn't willing to go to support  his grand kids and no task too large that he wouldn't willingly offer to help. His grandkids are now the third generation of Hassmans who work hard and love even harder because of the example that has been passed down to them. Ken is the kind of man people are proud to know and the legacy he left behind and the family he created is one I will forever be grateful to have joined. This summer, we all visited Banff together to celebrate their anniversary in the same place they celebrated their honeymoon and for a multitude of reasons, it was one of the most special times in my life. As we say good-bye to Ken in physical form, his legacy and his love continues to run deep. So Ken, thank you for being such an incredible mentor of what a life of dedicated love looks like. I cherish the years spent with you and will remember you always.

I had the luckiest opportunity to have Ken as my Grandpa. Watching and learning from him all my life has shaped me into who I am today, and I couldn't be more grateful to have been his Grandson. I always knew my Grandpa as someone who had a passion to take care of his family like no other and have a work ethic next to none. Even though he was passionate about work and always on the move, he was always there for us. From watching us when we were younger, to being at all my hockey games and tournaments no matter how far away they were. There was even the odd practice he would show up to!  There's not many people that can say they worked as hard as he has, but still was there all the time for us family, but he can. I will forever cherish the memories, lessons, love, and guidance he has given me that I look forward to passing down to my future family to make him proud. Love you forever and always Grandpa.

My Condolences to Marilyn and the Hassman family.
   I spent 20 plus years working with Ken at Floors By Design. He was one of the hardest working men I've had the pleasure to know. We spent about 8  years working side by side as a crew. We shared a ton of laughs and I'll never forget the tears in his eyes when he laughed so hard he cried.
Going to miss you  Crazy Cake

Kevin (Rhonda) Thompson

On behalf of the whole Floors by Design crew we offer our condolences to Marilyn, Lisa, Kevin and their families. Ken was one of a kind and personally cannot thank enough him for all he did. We all miss him stopping in for a chat.
