My memory of Ken has two aspects. One as a fast and honest manager in the eGRID diplomas and the second for the qso we did on March 13, 2020, just a few days after the pandemic and the confinement of Spain were declared in which the entire population stayed at home. A minute later I had confirmed the contact by eqsl. And I thanked him. I hope that the Lord our God has welcomed you into his bosom. My regards to his family with my condolences.

For 16 years, we knew Ken as ham operator KA2LIM, and one of our most meticulous award managers on the Advisory Board of the eQSL service. He will be greatly missed.

CSM Ken, you are a soldier´s soldier - a Battalion, Brigade, and Division CSM without peer. I have fondest memories of your leadership and counsel to us who commanded. Walking in your cow barn and drinking real milk remind me of a real citizen soldier going back 200 plus years. I also recall you sitting quietly in your living room reading the Bible. You are the best.
Jean, thank you for sharing him with us and being such a great hostess. Your memories of Maine are in my mind tonight.
The Lord be with you.
