  5. Lynn Daugherty condolence:

    My sincere condolences to the Ketchmark family


  6. Nancy Steineke condolence:

    I have nothing but fond memories of Mr. Ketchmark. On my walks around the neighborhood, I would always pass by his house to chat, peruse his ever changing collection of flea market finds displayed on his driveway, or visit with his dog-Sugar Doll.

    One of Mr. Ketchmark’s talents that was not noted in his Landmark obituary was that he was a musician. When he was younger, he would bring his accordion out, sit in a chair near the sidewalk, and serenade the neighborhood. He will be missed.


  7. Nancy (Vizek) Weiss condolence:

    Larry was married to my cousin Doris, The last time I saw them both Larry was playing is accordion and Singing “Nancy with the Smiling Face” to me and my husband Rock. Both Great People. Doris taught me ballet when I was young and spend time babysitting me. Miss them both! He always had items for sale on his driveway and call it Marshal Field avenue. Fun times with both of them. Very much missed! Nancy & Rock Weiss
