The best friend a person or patient could ever have. Heaven is lucky to get him. don pansegrau
My husband and I had the good fortune of being patients of Dr. Walgren's for 20 years, and were deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Susan & Gene Field
I was deeply saddened to read about the passing of Dr. Walgren. My mother and I were his patients until he became ill. He was an "old fashioned" doctor. I mean that in the most wonderful way. He was up-to-date on all medical advances. He spent time with you, answered your questions, brought up things you might not have thought about. I always felt so much better after seeing him. Dr. Walgren was one of a kind, a very special person, and I shall miss him. Sybil Cotnoir
What a man! What a caring and competent physician. The world is definitely a better place by him having been here. A lot to celebrate here in this man's life who did so much for so many…. Also an end to earthly suffering… And a beginning to an expectant glorious reward… "Well done good and faithful servant." RIP Hal Brown, M. D.
I have such fond memories of Dr. Ken Walgren and Judy. Gene Furlong
Our deepest condolences to the family of this wonderful physician whom we had the pleasure to know while working at St. Paul's. Gordon Newman, MD & Larry Taub, MD
The Finch family is saddened to hear of the loss of Dr. Walgren. He was our family doctor for many years and gave us the best medical care possible. He was an amazing physician that loved to practice medicine and the only thing we knew that could distract him was to get him talking about his grandchildren. Dr. Walgren will be missed by many people and the Finch's are sorry for the families loss of a great father, husband and grandfather.
