Remembering Papa Ken

Ben's grandfather, Kenneth Erickson, passed away yesterday, February 27, 2009. He was 91 years old. I believe he died from the stomach flu virus--he got it a few times this month, and he just couldn't recover from it. He was in the hospital for a few weeks, and then was recently moved to hospice care where he passed away. His lungs kept filling with fluid and the doctors said there was nothing more they could really do for him.

Papa Ken lived a long, good life. He enjoyed driving new cars, and traveling with his family. In fact, he just went on a Caribbean cruise in the beginning of February with his kids and their significant others.

Evan loved Papa Ken so much. These pictures were taken in August of 2008. We'll miss you, Grandpa!
