Ken Torno turns 90!

Ken Torno was a marriage and family counselor in Cedar Rapids from 1969 until 2015. People often saw him using his cane and navigating downtown to his office in the Paramount or Armstrong building where he worked until age 82 when he quit to stay home with his wife, who was ill at the time. They are still happily married and he has filled his spare time with dancing, playing cards, watching the Hawkeyes on TV, and being grateful for every day. His four grandchildren and three children love his positive view on life, can-do attitude and his ability to listen and support them with encouraging words.

We are celebrating his birthday all this month. If you happen to recall a nice or funny memory of Ken, please send that recollection to us at: katetf66@gmail.com and make the subject line "Ken's Birthday".
