I worked with Ken for almost 8 years at Cabot and enjoyed his sense of humor, his dedication to his family, and his sense of personal honor and integrity. My prayers are with all of the family.

Dear Beth, Katie, Ali and Andrew,

I can´t find any words how to express my feelings. You and Ken made my family´s vacation full of lovely memories. Frida said only a few days before Ken´s passing, that she longed for her best "adult-friend" Ken. Both Linus and Frida had so much fun playing and laughing with Ken in Maine.
We all miss you!

I had the privilege to meet Ken and his lovely family for the first time only three weeks ago. We had a good time in Beverly and Maine. It did´nt take long before i found out what kind of person he was. A warm, humorous, friendly and humble person. Ken, the man who learned me so much about baseball, i was looking forward to meet you many more times. I will always remember you.

Your friend Magnus
I

I have worked with Ken as an outside third party company for a number of years now. Not only has he always been very professional in his efforts to do what is right for his company, but at the same time he has been a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. I will miss working with him but more so I will miss his smile and easy manner. My sincere condolances to his friends and loving family.

I worked with Ken for about three years at Nutramax in Gloucester. He always had a warm greeting and enjoyed sharing his great laugh whenever possible. Ken was one of the people I missed most when I left working there and one of the first I would look for when I had the occasion to return. I will miss his stories about his summers and winters in Maine, and always remember him as a warm and kind person whose first priority was his family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Ken's passing and wish only the best for his family as they cope with his sudden loss. I worked with Ken for several years and found his intellect, infectious laugh and outgoing personality were but a few of his many outstanding qualities. He will be sorely missed.
