To all of Ken's family:
We are so sorry to hear of his passing. "General Pershing" as we so fondly called him in college and throughout his life was a great inspiration to all his younger math majors. We will truly miss him.

We have very fond memories of our visit with Ken and Alma a few years back. I loved Ken's sense of humor. Being a teacher myself, I offered that he must have had top level students at Greenwich High… his response… " their parents thought so."
