Please accept my deepest condolences for your and our loss. I have known Ken for many years at work where he took care of our needs every day. Ken was always very kind and helpful. I enjoyed our conversations immensely. It was always comforting to see and speak with him first thing in the morning when he would have his breakfast in the lobby at the cafe table. He was always insightful and shared his knowledge and opinion without spite or harm. I will miss him. God Bless him, his family and friends.
