Sorry I did not hear about Ken's passing until today. I worked with Ken at Tokyo Electron. His sense of humor was legendary. I always enjoyed working with him and the great laughs we had.
The world needs more men like Ken.

I did not hear of Ken's passing until recently and it took me some time to write this note. Ken and I were friends for some time and he was like a brother to me. Ken is someone I always looked up to and is one of who effortlessly made friends with everyone.
I think of him often and am better for knowing him.

You were the best of the best from the very beginning days of our lives as kids growing up in the same town. You were my best man and a very best friend for life. My heart is saddened as you will be missed.

I met 'Kenny P' when he first moved to Austin. I'll always remember he would shoot 100 free throws everyday, his 55 chevy and his easy going positive personality. I haven't seen him in years, but I'll miss him just the same. RIP Kenny P
