Nine years ago, Ken became a Reiki Master Teacher and Aura photographer, conducting many seminars and teaching hundreds of students.

Ken was a wonderful friend to our church and a blessing in all of our lives. Ken's continuing presence is felt by many as he works from the spirit side of life to continue his healing work. In Spirit, his sense of humor, his gracious presence and his generosity of spirit lives on.......
We are truly grateful for experiencing his spirit & great light on both the physical and spiritual planes.

Ken's memorial service will be held on Sat., Oct. 3 at 1 PM at the Greater Boston Church of Spiritualism, 32 Church St.,

Ken's memory may be made to the church.
Thank you all so much for your kind and loving words and prayers. They are greatly appreciated.

As a founder of Hanron Manley and Hall, Ken was my first employer when I moved to Boston. Over the years we shared many funny moments as well as a few sad ones. Ken was very creative, quick on the draw, never missing an opportunity to make you laugh. He was always the consumate professional. I will miss him .

Ken and I began our radio careers together in Bangor, Maine. He was a multi talented man. and a loyal friend for over 50 years. I will miss reminiscing with him about our adventures at Leland Powers and, the early days of working together in radio. We had lots to talk about, and lots to laugh about about!! Bon Voyage, old friend.
