To the family of Ken - I've been a client of Ken since I had emergency Brain surgery years ago; he helped us out of a "tax jam as I have the attention-span of a cat learning the "importance of 'PDF-Files'" Ken had a way of making us laugh at ourselves, and we're surely going to miss him dearly. May Adonai bless you, and may his Soul rest in peace.
