I was so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I worked with him at Andersen and occasionally at SkyJack. He was the same great guy over all those years. He was solid as a rock. I know he'll be missed.

Pam and Tiffany I hope your wonderful memories give you peace. Ken was absolutely one of my favorite co-workers at Andersen. He always made me enjoy coming into work. I feel very blessed to have known him and I am so sorry for your loss. XOXO Rachel Roth

Pam and Tiffany my sincerest condolences. I was blessed to have worked with Ken for many years with Andersen Publishing Services. He could always get you laughin' even when you where having the worst of days. I remember the time he lost the White Castle's eating contest, he replied, "no I didn't... I got everyone to buy me lunch." He always did see the positive. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

My deepest sympathies to your family. I too, worked with Ken at Arthur Andersen at the print shop. As I have read the various comments from other co-workers, I smile, as I remember all of those stories. He was always very upbeat and friendly, even when he didn't win the football pool that week... I hope that some of these nice comments will help to comfort you during this emotional time.

Pam & Tiffany - You don't know me, but I worked with Ken for several years at Anderson. He was always a funny guy. I have a memory of one year when several of us went to Florida to support a large global program. When Ken got off the shuttle from the airport he had 3 rather large suitcases, all the rest of us had 1 and a carry on. He said "I can't put my shoes in the suitcase with my clothes". We all got a great laugh out that. I know he will be missed by many. I know the happy times you have shared will get you through this time and be with you for years to come. My prayers are with all of you. Cindy Albright

Dear Pam and Tiffany, Ken was my oldest brother Rick Wade's best friend and my fondest memories of Ken are from the days the three of us were on the same baseball team and the beers we so enjoyed afterwards come win or lose. He will be missed for sure. My thoughts are with you all on this day.

My deepest condolences for your loss. I have so many memories of Ken growing up and even into adulthood at work. I will never forget that smile of his. RIP my friend and strength and prayers to his family during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to Ken's family. I also worked with Ken at Arthur Andersen/Accenture and he could always be counted on to put things into perspective. He was never at a lost for providing a story and I had many fun/lively conversations with him the most memorable would be those about the Bulls. A spirit like Ken's will never be forgotten!

I met Ken working at the print shop. He picked on me relentlessly but he did so in good humor. That is how you knew he liked you. He brought so much fun into everything he did. Although he could be a prankster, he was also a very caring person and a true friend. He was there for you through thick and thin. He was one of the good guys. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Pam and Tiffany. Many hugs.
