Ken and I were fellow Navy pilots together in a Patrol Squadron. We left the Navy for Northwest Airlines at the same time on a military charter flight leaving our Squadron's assigned location at Keflavik Iceland in 1968. Ken was a wonderful Navy pilot and commercial pilot with Northwest Airlines. We have been through a lot together with such events as flying night Navy patrol flights in the North Atlantic looking for Soviet submarines or surviving through some long strikes at Northwest. I will miss Ken and it's always sad to see a fellow Navy and Northwest pilot say good by and 'Fly West'.

Ken and I were pilots together in USN Patrol Squadron 44, flying P-3 aircraft from Iceland. We both left at the same time and joined Northwest airlines in 1968. Thus we shared a joint background and family friendship.

We are sorry to miss the service. We were away in Glacier National Park and just returned.
