Ken will be remembered fondly by so many, always a smile and a kind word, that was Ken. We go back to 1964 when he and l and Wes Fulton put our first musical group together. Wes on bass, me on drums and Ken skillfully and articulately nailing the lead guitar parts on so many great songs of the day. " Pipeline ", "Walk don´t run", " Malaguena", as well of an assortment of Beach Boys tunes. We developed, over the years an incredible following when he also started knocking out George Harrison solos to perfection. What a wonderful time we had, and the experiences of traveling and growing as people and musicians were some of the highlights of a young and hopeful time. God bless you Ken and may you forever rest in the palm of Gods hand.

I told you I would be thinking of you.

I knew Ken for many years, and worked with him at National Nuclear Corporation. We would spend lots of time talking about current events and, of course, music. Later, after NNC, we were able to get together and have some jam sessions playing music. I know he really enjoyed the jams and socializing after. I always thought he would be available for another jam. That being said, he will be thought of often, and he will be missed.
