To Kon’s Family,
I graduated from Eastern High School in the Class of 1973. Kon and I shared many high school experiences together, were on the football team together, industrial arts, graphics class, photography club, ect., and I have known his parents and siblings all of my life. What a great guy! Everybody liked him and appreciated his inner and outer strength.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Ann, Ben and Alex:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. We are so blessed to have shared time and fantastic memories with Kon and you all.
I take great pleasure of having shared times with a man who was so giving of himself and to others. He was unconditional in his love of others, thoughts and his great sense of humor.
We are all better people today to have had the chance to share moments with such a giving, compassionate individual.
Love to you all
Warmest Regards,
The Frankman Family- Don, Mary Ryan and Eric

Ann, Ben, and Alex,
I was both shocked and saddened to hear of your loss. I was one year behind Kon in high school, and I was Kon and Mike’s roommate the last semester of their senior year at Purdue. Kon is the one that prompted me to get into the construction department at Purdue.
I cannot pretend to understand what you must be feeling, but I do know that God is in control, and that there will be a glorious reunion with Kon and our savior Jesus Christ in the future.
God bless you now and forever more.
