So sad to hear of Ken's passing...I used to work
for AAA here in Florida and I was often on the phone with Ken sharing safety programs in our respective AAA Chapters.

Oh, God, I am so sorry to hear of Ken's passing! He was such a great "people person," and I used to keep up with him on email on a weekly basis! We both worked at AAA and yes, Ken loved to come down here to the Clearwater, FL area. I am so saddened to hear of this and was worried when I no longer heard from him on email!

I had the opportunity to work with Ken for many years with SADD. We often traveled and went to conferences together and had many good times as we worked toward the common goal. Ken's unique style and humor will long be remembered, along with his dedication to the SADD organization and the students of Ohio.

Words cannot convey the loss I feel at the departure from this earth of my dear friend Ken. We enjoyed many good times together, shared our innermost feelings, and laughed about our past. Ken was a caring soul who will be missed by all of us who knew him. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. I know we will all cherish our memories of him.
