I was saddened to hear of Ken's death. I have known Ken for a few years and considered him a good friend. He had called me a couple days before his passing to ask a question on emails and wanting a fudge recipe that I make. May he rest in peace.

Kenny and I got back in touch earlier this year. It was great to re-connect and we were able to catch up over the phone and by email. Our voices do not age. Our last chat was over the summer when we were up in Yellowstone and he recalled his travels out there with his brother Gregory. I can't believe he's passed at such an early age. Sending condolences to his family. I'll miss him.
