Ken was the best addition to the training dept. in the 1980's. So much knowledge, expertise and Ken could share that so easily. He mentored many instructors and students. An invaluable asset to training and Johnson Controls.
Ken enjoyed life and shared his love of sailing and many other interests.
Ken always had an entertaining story to tell and many times a life lesson to learn.
We all miss him.

Worked with Ken for 10+ years at Johnson Controls. I will miss Ken's humor, expertise, and professionalism during his career here. There are hundreds if not thousands of individuals that Ken taught his knowledge and skills to across Johnson Controls as a teacher. Ken will be missed.
