The death of a loved one can be a very challenging time for everyone in the family. Coping with a loss is difficult and at times overwhelming. For many Gods word is a source of encouragement. While I dont know your family I have experienced losing a loved one in death and relying on the hope the Bible offers has helped. For instance Phillipians 4:13 gives us the strength to continue enduring. We also have the hope of the resurrection found at John 5:28,29. I sincerely hope that these scriptures help you in your times of sorrow.

I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TODAY TO HONOR MY FATHER. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU WERE ALL HERE TO HONOR HIM AND, IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT MY DAD, NO ONE LOVED TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION MORE THAN HIM.

AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, DAD SUFFERED A STROKE THIS PAST HALLOWEEN AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD LOSE HIM AT THAT TIME. BUT MY DAD, ALWAYS THE FIGHTER, EVER STRONG AND RESILIENT WAS NOT READY TO GIVE UP THE FIGHT SO EASILY. WE WATCHED AS HE RALLIED TRYING TO FIGHT WHAT WOULD BE THE INEVITABLE. HE SPENT THREE MONTHS IN REHAB, BUT LOST THE USE OF MOST OF HIS SPEECH AND HIS RIGHT SIDE. IRONICALLY, THE FEW WORDS HE WAS ABLE TO SAY WERE "I LOVE YOU", THE WORDS HE USED EVERY SINGLE TIME I SPOKE TO HIM ON THE PHONE OR SAW HIM AND SO OFTEN THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES. DAD COULD BE TOUGH AND OFTEN CRITICAL, BUT HE ALWAYS LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE LOVED YOU. THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT HIS FAMILY BROUGHT HIM TREMENDOUS PRIDE. EVERY TIME WE WOULD MEET SOMEONE NEW THAT KNEW OUR FATHER THEY WOULD TELL US, "OH, YOUR ONE OF HIS FIVE DAUGHTERS AND ALL HE DOES IS TALK ABOUT YOU AND HOW PROUD HE IS".

THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT DAD FELT HIS BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT WAS HIS FAMILY. THAT WAS SO MUCH OF WHAT DAD WAS ALL ABOUT, "FAMILY". HE WOULD OFTEN TELL ME STORIES OF HIS PARENTS WHO SHARED A HOME WITH HIS ITALIAN GRANDPARENTS. DAD WAS AN ONLY CHILD, BUT RELISHED SHARING THE STORIES OF HIS 6 AUNTS, 3 UNCLES AND 17 COUSINS WHO ALL GREW UP WITH HIM IN BROOKLYN. HE LOVED THEM ALL AND TRIED TO REMAIN CLOSE TO THEM THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE.

AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, DAD JOINED THE NAVY, AND HIS PARENTS SAVED THE MONEY HE SENT HOME TO SEND HIM TO COLLEGE. UNFORTUNATELY, HIS FATHER PASSED AWAY SOON AFTER HE RETURNED AND HIS COLLEGE PLANS WERE PUT TO THE SIDE SO THAT HE COULD SUPPORT HIS MOTHER. DAD DID, HOWEVER, FULFILL HIS DREAM OF OBTAINING A BATCHELORS DEGREE BY ATTENDING COLLEGE AT NIGHT WHILE WORKING FULL TIME AND GRADUATED FROM SAINT JOHN'S UNIVERSITY.

IRONICALLY, MY PARENTS, BOTH STAUNCH DEMOCRATS MET AT A REPUBLICAN FUNDRAISER. MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD SAY THAT FROM THAT POINT ON HE WAS AT HER HOUSE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. MY FATHER FELL MADLY IN LOVE WITH HIS ANN AND THEY WERE ENGAGED 6 WEEKS AFTER MEETING AND WERE MARRIED THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS 4 MONTHS LATER. TOGETHER THEY HAD FIVE DAUGHTERS AND A SON, WHOM THEY LOST SHORTLY AFTER HIS BIRTH.

OVER THE YEARS MY FATHER TRAVELED THE COUNTRY EXTENSIVELY AS A NATIONAL SALES MANAGER AND THEY SHARED IN THE JOY OF RAISING THEIR FAMILY, SEEING THEIR CHILDREN MARRY AND REJOICING IN THE BIRTH OF THEIR 13 GRANDCHILDREN. WHEN MY MOTHER BECAME ILL IN 1999, AND PASSED AWAY JUST A FEW SHORT WEEKS LATER, MY FATHER WAS TRULY DEVASTATED. HE LOST HIS TRUE SOUL MATE AND WE WORRIED THAT HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO GO ON WITHOUT HER, BUT AGAIN, HE RALLIED AND NEVER SAT BACK AND FELT SORRY FOR HIMSELF, AND GOT MORE INVOLVED IN CHURCH ACTIVITIES AND CONTINUED WITH HIS DAILY SWIMMING AND WALKS AND TRAVEL KEEPING HIMSELF PERPETUALLY BUSY.

EVENTUALLY, DUE TO A NUMBER OF MEDICAL ISSUES, DAD WAS UNABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF ANYMORE AND MOVED TO AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IN JACKSON. HE LIVED FOUR RELATIVELY HAPPY YEARS THERE AND WAS ABLE TO SEE HIS FAMILY OFTEN.

WHEN WE BROUGHT HIM TO ARIZONA JUST 6 WEEKS AGO, HE SEEMED TO RALLY AGAIN, BUT IT WAS STILL A SAD LIFE FOR HIM TRAPPED IN A BODY THAT WAS FAILING WITH NO WAY TO REALLY COMMUNICATE WITH US ANYMORE EXCEPT FOR YES AND NO AND STILL THE WORDS "I LOVE YOU", WHICH WAS STILL CLEARLY AUDABLE. WHEN MY SISTER KATIE CALLED US JUST A WEEK AGO IT WAS HARD FOR US TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAD BECOME TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. WE WERE TOLD THAT HE WAS IN GOOD FORM ON FRIDAY, BUT ON SATURDAY HE STARTED THE PROCESS OF DYING. BY MONDAY MORNING HE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN HIS EYES AGAIN AND IRONICALLY, WHILE KATIE WAS ON A CONFERENCE CALL WITH ALL OF HIS DAUGHTERS, MY FATHER SLIPPED AWAY WITH ALL OF US ON THE PHONE LISTENING TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE ROOM.

SO HERE WE ARE TODAY DAD, BACK IN NEW JERSEY WITH ALL OF YOUR FAMILY WITH YOUR DEAR FRIEND OF ALMOST 50 YEARS, FR. JOE OFFICIATING AT A MASS IN YOUR BELOVED CHURCH. WHAT WOULD HAVE PLEASED YOU MORE THEN TO HAVE US ALL HERE IN THIS CHURCH WITH YOU. FROM HERE WE WILL GO TO SAINT JOHN'S WITH MOMMY AND TOGETHER YOU WILL JOIN YOUR SON, KENNY AND SPEND THE REST OF ETERNITY TOGETHER.

DAD, THERE WILL NEVER BE A DAY WHEN I DON'T THINK OF YOU IN SOME WAY AND NOT BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME AND GIVEN ME IN MY LIFE. YOU WERE SO MANY THINGS TO ME AND I THANK GOD TO HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO BE YOUR DAUGHTER.

REST IN PEACE MY BEAUTIFUL FATHER AND KNOW THAT I WILL CARRY YOU IN MY HEART FOREVER.

It's not hard to find fault with your parent's decisions, to exact blame for those markers they laid towards your cracked foundation, or to hold them accountable for the unrealized outcome of your unlimited potential. But those renewable rewards that each of us comprise and which enrich our lives; those traits developed as a result of consistent and deliberate modeling by our parents, should never by obfuscated by rationalization of why our limitations exist. My father taught me fruitful things by example and, in doing so, nurtured me spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. Here are just 10 examples of modeling that he imparted through his words and deeds: 1) Embrace diversity! - some call it profiling, but my father used stereotypes to point out valuable differences among us. He referred to God as "she" and perennially supported the underdog. 2) Keep close to the cross! - religion carries its own reward, dad would persuade, whether as a crutch through life or a ticket into heaven. One can only presume he desired to share the gift of salvation. 3) Make a name for yourself! - dad incites competition and defers to "persons of significance" in an effort to motivate his daughters, trusting that others will view success with respect and adulation. 4) Do things the Rocky way! - use what you have at your disposal, reject excuses, and never underestimate your opponent, but tap the strength you possess within and go the distance. 5) Be physical! - walk when possible, engage in play, perform manual labor, take the stairs, do laps when in a pool, work through t.v. commercial time, and warm yourself naturally through activity. 6) Question & Confront! - if you don't know, ask; if you disagree, speak up; and if there's nothing to challenge, make things interesting anyway. Love God but play the devil's advocate. 7) Love your spouse! - ultimate fidelity is demonstrated by the steadfast devotion to your spouse and acknowledgement that he/she is both your best friend and irreplaceable partner. 8) Don't be shy! - walk up, say hello, and commit yourself to the attitude that rejection by another is their issue, not yours; every salesperson must take initiative, even in selling thyself. 9) Be adventurous! - explore, take the path less traveled, pursue your curiosities, and "be not afraid;" it's easier and infinitely more fun to beg forgiveness than ask for permission. 10) Forgive, forget, and move on! - it may have happened yesterday or, more likely, before the receipt of communion, but if it involved a family member, the familial bond compels reconciliation. These are the lessons that, despite some "between-the-line" significance and nuances that framed my father's example for me, have influenced the way I live my life and am raising my sons. Per my father's teaching, I believe it's RIGHT to stand up for all people, most especially the vulnerable, regardless of classification; that each of us is here to watch after one another and be disciples of GOOD; that earning credentials ensures that you shouldn't feel inferior to anyone else but can help others feel infinitely better about themselves; that you don't need innate talents, just drive and perspicacity; and healthy habits will lead to a robust life. I'm a better student of life because of my father's predilection to engage and question. I appreciate my husband for sharing my burdens, helping to foster my joy, and inspiring my activities. My assertiveness in social realms has enabled my personal security and supplied a springboard for my nurturing desires. My spirit soars with anticipation of something new, challenging, and unpredictable. And, I embrace both my own parenting role as well as my friendships with the knowledge that love conquers all in allowing us to both make mistakes and make amends. So, thank you dad, for providing a legacy that's supported me spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. My life is easier and more fulfilling because of these blessings you've imparted. I will forever be in your debt for the teachings you've provided by example. With love, Kate

To my sisters and extended family, as well as those viewing and leaving condolences on this site, please know how grateful I am for your love. At times like these, your words, thoughts, and deeds are even more cherished and relied upon to illuminate the beauty of life rather than the sorrow of death. I have enormous gratitude for you, who-- while my parents are gone from this earth--share those traits you look to parents for: support, nurturing, care, devotion and love. So, thank you for being there, keeping my family in your prayers (especially my thoroughly amazing sisters), and making a difference! Always, xoxo

My thoughts and prayers goes to the entire family. Ken was proud of his daughters,who showed their love by their care and attention to his needs. Each one displayed their love to him till the very end. Each daughter has their own private memories of their father. Ken did the best he could and as a parent we all need the forgiveness for whatever faults we have. Kt and Raz have lost their fathers, the children their grandfathers in less than one year. May the children learn the lesson learned to late for some. Their Abba regreted that he did not spend enough time with Raz, Mark and the boys. Kathi is a daughter to me. She has shown to be unselfish in the care of her father. What Raz and Kt has learned from their fathers should inspire them to be the best they can with foregiveness in their hearts. Ken need not visit 5 churches each day, since he is there with God now. Mom A Mom A

Dear Raz, Kathi and family: My heartfelt condolences to all of you. I pray that God keeps you strong and patient in this difficult time. Never forget the wonderful memories; they will always be in your hearts. Sincerely, Aris

Dear Mary Pat & all of your sisters, my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your Father. Hold on to the memories, tuck them away in your hearts. Many blessing to you all.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you as you lay your father to rest today. We considered it a privilage to care for Ken in his last days and to meet his special family.

Kate and Raz and Family; We are sorry for your the loss of your Father. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. May you find comfort and peace.

Blessings to you, Kate. Surprising how much strength and joy God grants at a time like this. I was sad when Dad died in 2008, but my overwhelming takeaway was joy. So many friends, so much love, so much hope, so much assurance. May the same be true for you.

Ann, Mary Pat, Noel, Christine and Kati, Please know that you and your families are in my thoughts and in my heart. I was hoping to make the service but it does not appear I will be able to, even though it is here in Cresskill. I am so sorry and I wish I could be with you, sharing stories of growing up together. I love and treasure you all and our memories. I will be in touch. With much love and thoughts for peace, Brenda (and her dad Jim)

I met Ken when he lived at Bella Terra (I work there). He was a very proud WWII Navy veteran and shared many stories with me. Through those stories I realized that Ken served with my Dad in the Navy in the Pacific. I have my Dad's private war journal that I loaned to Ken and he read it cover to cover. He was able to remember details of those adventures and tell me even more about those times. I'm so happy to have been able to let Ken hold a part of his own history in his hands....To Ken's loving family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember Ken.

Ann. Our hearts are with you in support and love. Tom & Susan

I was lucky enough to get to know Ken while in high school. Ann and I were actively involved with the AFS exchange student program and, through that relationship, I got to I remember having doubts about the college I was thinking of attending, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It was Ken who, having gone to a science and math-based high school, lent me his ear and gave me the good and proper words of encouragement I needed at the time. I thought of him, Ann, and the Olivarius clan often throughout the years since my high school days in Bergen County. My sincere sympathies to the family from the Pfeiffers of Austin, Texas.

Dear Family, Ken, was an angel sent to Mom when she needed a dear friend the most. He made her laugh and shared silly stories.Was the first time in years she had been so Happy. Her life has not been the same since that Oct day, and he has been missed since then,We are so sad to hear of this loss, but know he will now be watching over all his friends and family,with that Humor we loved so much.HUGS to all Of you. Randi , Larry and Arlene Gottfried

My deepest condolence's to the five sisters from Capri Terrace. Your Dad has a wonderful legacy with each of you. I'll remember him foundly. May your memories bring you comfort at this very difficult time.

Ken seemed to know everyone, have gone to school with most of them, and was waiting for the opportunity to meet the rest. He appeared to be one of those individuals who lived for life. Indeed he enjoyed a good story, true or not, and had his own repertoire of the same. While he will be missed for all the reasons children miss their departed parents, he lived a full life, and will leave behind a trove of memories that will become embellished with the passage of time. Our condolences are extended to his family. Edward F. McCann II and Leslie Hail

We were not Blessed with the opportunity of meeting Kenneth, but we were surely Blessed with knowing his youngest Daughter, Katie and Raz and their little family. Surely Kenneth and his departed wife, did a wonderful job of raising their children for it shows in the type of fabulous woman Katie has become. She is the most remarkable wife, mother, daughter and "Angel" on Earth, that God has created. We are sending our deepest condolences to the Family and asking for God's Blessings for them to comfort them and give them Peace. (For Raz, Katie and Sons, we are here for you anytime).

I remember meeting Ken 35 years ago in his home, listening to jazz and telling stories. He loved his family deeply. His legacy lives on in his children, especially his daughter and my good friend, Ann, who is very smart and very hard working, a good person and a dear friend. Condolences to the whole family. May he rest in peace.

While we didn't know Kenneth, we do know and love his youngest daughter,Katie. To Kenneth's testament,Katie is an extraordinarily bright,kind and caring women and the best Mom we have ever known. Kenneth must be most proud of her. Our condolences to all his family. May he rest in peace.

I'll always think foundly of the dinners around your family's table in the Park Ridge house and how very proud you Dad was of his family. He had an influence on me and growing up. His passing has stirred up some very strong and pleasant memories of your family for me. I hope you all find comfort and strenght in each other at this very difficult time.
