I am just finding out Ken died. I am so sorry for your loss. I got my real estate license in 2000. I joined Kens Office in Largo, He was so good to me. He taught me about persevering through struggle and to never give up. When he moved to Silver spring I followed Him. I will Never forget HIM... and I will love him all the days of my life. He was a GREAT Man.
They are as close as ever

I just found out about Ken's passing. It saddens me to know that one of the most wonderful men that I ever knew is no longer walking on this earth. I am so sorry, Lola, for you and your children.
Ken was my broker at the Weichert in White Oak and helped me become a better realtor. He was such fun to be around. He will be sorely missed.

Ken was my mentor and broker when I first became a realtor. He gave me a foundation and for almost a decade he was always my go to person. Ken was one of a kind, generous and for most such a fatherly figure. My prayers are with his family. He lived life to the fullest and that is always lifting others up.

I met Ken through a friend at Md. Univ. and went to work with him at Langley Realty in 1965. He was very helpful to everyone in the office. That's where he met his future wife, Nola. He introduced me to enjoying Md. crabs. He later became the Broker at PG Realty and I worked there too for a short while. Fond memories of the times we spend together back then. Sail on, old friend.

I met Ken through a friend at college in early 1965. He was with Langley Realty on Univ. Blvd. and I worked with him at that office. His future wife, Nola, started to work there too. Yes, he was a smart dresser. We shared a few crab feasts in the late 60s. Wish I made an effort to see him again recently. Sail on, my friend.

Ken was very kind to me and helped me when I started out in my new profession as a Realtor. I often went to Ken for advice. Ken had a great personality. He reminded me of the late actor and band leader Phil Harris of the Phil Harris & Alice Faye radio show. He had a rich voice and was very warm to people. Ken was great company and I enjoyed the many times we shared at Leisure World in the Stein Room. Knowing that I was very low on income Ken often treated me to a number of meals there. And Ken was a sharp dresser. He always wore very nice business suits with tie and matching hankercheif . Ken had a very successful career in real estate and actually was in the building construction business as well. He enjoyed talking about real estate matters and his family. And Ken loved to play golf a lot. I am sorry to learn that Ken passed away. I had not heard of this until today. I will remeber Ken fondly. Sincerely, Robert Mechner

I just learned of his passing. Ken was an amazing man. He was more than my first real estate broker. He was a champion and a caring mentor. Praying for his family's peace and comfort during this time of loss.

We were so sorry to hear about Ken's passing. The many wonderful times we had with Ken in the real estate world and conducting his settlements. Just dropping by to see him at his office made for an uplifting day. He was truly a wonderful person to know and to be able to call our friend.
