========
Condolences left on the North Dallas Funeral Home site:
Words can not express the sadness that we feel with loss of Dr. Foree. The world has lost a wonderful person. Ken was a great mentor, teacher, and role model for all of us. He spent his life helping others. He enabled a great number of people to have better vision while he practiced ophthalmology as the chief of ophthalmology at Baylor hospital. But he was not satisfied to stop at that. He felt the need to try to help the people of Haiti and was instrumental in starting the Highland Park Methodist Church mission to Haiti and building it into the wonderful mission that it is at present. Ken leaves us having made the world a better place to live.

On Find A Grave.
