Ken was such a fine, helpful person. We remember his thoughtfulness and many contributions on the MCGS Board. We are thankful he was honored for his contributions to Boy Scouts at the SIRS meeting in October and that he completed the genealogy for his family.

I was saddened to hear of Ken's death. He was a genuinely nice man; kind hearted; generous with his time; dedicated to the tasks he took on and to the organizations he chose to belong to. He had a good sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye.

I enjoyed working with him during our time together at the Marin County Genealogical Society.

My heart goes out to his children and the family.

To Ken's family, I was very sad to hear about Ken's death. He was a really decent guy and a hard worker on projects outside himself. I have enjoyed working with him on the Board of MCGS and on the library project and considered him a friend. I will miss him as will all of you. Susan Trumbull, Novato, Ca.
