Mr Pack is remembered for downtown presence

Flowers and notes have been placed on a Main Street bench where Kenneth Pack

Sr. used to spend his days.

Mr. Pack passed away Sunday at his home after battling health problems in recent

months. He was 64. "We are going to miss him,"said downtown businessman Tommy Foster of Foster & Foster Realty. " This bench and all the decorations on it are reflective of how nice and how kind he was to people. "

Mr. Pack liked to frequent the bench in front of Foster's business and would often

sit there for hours at a time smiling and chatting with people as they walked by.

Tommy said he thinks he picked that bench because it was close to his apartment

and he liked to interact with downtown visitors.

Faye Braxton works across the street at the District Attorney's Office. She said Mr. Pack kept a watchful eye on the downtown area. He paid attention and he let people know when they were parked for too long and were close to getting a ticket," said Braxton. He kept up with parking.

Faye said a few years back , Mr. Pack saw a rat scurry down a gutter on a Main Street building. He said seeing that rat left an impression and he would occassionally mention it in conversation.

Mr. Pack made it a daily habit to visit that bench and had been sitting there for more than four years.

He would even bundle up and endure the cold so he could sit on the bench in the

middle of winter.

Services for Mr. Pack are being handled by Gardens of Memory Funeral Home.

There has been talk of having a balloon release in his memory in downtown

McMinnville, although services have not been finalized. ***

PLEASE NOTE***After this story ran , A celebration of life service will be held Sunday, June

24, 2018 at The Redemption Center at 2:00 p.m with a balloon release to follow at the fountain Downtown McMinnville.
