Ken was the kind of public servant we all aspire to emulate. Self effacing, never fearing to honor his blue collar roots, and showing compassion to every soul who came before his court-- he will be remembered fondly for many years to come, by those he touched in life.

So sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
