Ken's obituary

Below is the obituary published in the Sacramento Bee for my Dad:

VAN ZEE, Kenneth William.
Age 89 passed away from us September 20, 2008. Born May 16, 1919, as the second of four children to William Anthony and Mae Ford Van Zee, he was a life-long resident of Sacramento, except for three years spent in the Army. He lived for fifty-eight years in his home less than two miles from the house where he was born. Ken married Maxine Williams of Lavonia, GA, in 1946 and celebrated fifty-four anniversaries before her death in 2001. A loyal forty-year employee of Pacific Gas & Electric Company, his career was interrupted by WWII and he was, at one time, a supervisor of over 400 employees. Born into his beloved Fremont Presbyterian Church, twice elected a governing Elder, he most recently sang in the Saints Alive Choir. Ken is survived by his brother Elbert F. Van Zee; his two sons, John William Van Zee and Calvin James Van Zee; five grandchildren, Kaitlin Elizabeth Van Zee, Sarah Emily Van Zee, William Wood Van Zee, Audrey Norella Van Zee and Virginia Mae Van Zee; and two loving daughters-in-law, Melinda Davis Van Zee and Judith Drake Wood. His sister, Audrey DeLancey, and his brother, the Rev. C. Harold Van Zee preceded him in death. Memorial services will be held 11am Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at Fremont Presbyterian Church, 5770 Carlson Drive, Sacramento, CA 95819. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Fremont Presbyterian Church Music Program. Friends and family are invited to post stories about Ken at http://kenvanz ee.blogspot.com/.
