I met Ken at Laurel View Country Club during his Civic Club days. I was the Civitan waitress. Ken was an intelligent, kind man. When I was considering purchase of first home, Ken came over on his own time to check it out and offer advice. I would run into him over the years now and then and most recently found him at Maplewoods/Benchmark. May he rest in peace.
