Remembering Ken Beck

In Loving Memory
Kenneth (Ken) J. Beck
1949 - 2009

Today we remember a dear friend and fellow DFLer. It's been a year since our community lost a champion of people, a teacher, an actor, a husband, a brother, a friend.

Today we celebrate the blessings we received in having known such a kind, and caring individual. We miss his laughter, his advice, his knowledge, his friendship, his passion and his love.

His contributions to us collectively and individually will never be forgotten.

Here's a story that ran in Ken's hometown newspaper roughly a year ago:
Beck made a difference in community
