I am so very sorry to learn this. I tried to call him today to with him a happy birthday. He was Jeffrey Bucher's best friend from kindergarten. I was married to Jeffrey for ten years. They both died too young. My best to his children.

Ken was a great mentor to me when I became head of the Chamber, he was the "go to guy" when you wanted something done in Bellflower. He was also a true friend.
