We always saw Ken in our GWRRA motorcycle travels. He always made it a priority to look us up. He was a special man and we made it a point to have a signer at our rallies just for him. He will be so missed and will leave an empty space when we can't meet up with him anymore. So sorry for his family's loss.

Ken was so much fun, I only remember one time when he did not have a smile on his face and that was when he had shingles, but by golly he was still at the motorcycle event, GWRRA will miss his smiling face and personality.
