Ken's family.....I am so saddened by the loss of one of the nicest men I've ever had the pleasure to meet...Ken had a massage with me at the Vinoy Hotel, St. Petersburg almost weekly for the past 3 years. He was quiet, humble and unassuming and I admired his gentle nature. I will miss him dearly as will my other collegues. The world needed men like Ken to restore our faith in humankind. I am so sorry for all the family and friends he left behind, he will be greatly missed....

Today the world is a sadder place...we have lost another exceptionally great man, friend and co-worker and neighbor.
My sincere thoughts are with you Karen and Ken's kids.
I ran into Ken not loo long ago down the street at our local discount store and I glanced over at this great looking truck and this great looking guy in a crisp white shirt climbs out and I had to continue my stare, I recognized him and was a bit relieved because of my long stare, he smiled and walked over and we greeted each other, it was Ken. I hadn't seen him in 5+ years and he remembered my name and we chatted, just friendly neighborish stuff, what a guy! I will miss him for his friendly smile and caring friendship.
My sincere condolences to all the people at SYSCO, I know your loss is huge and sad, Ken definitly was a huge guiding force with your company.
