It was a pleasure seeing Ken at every visit. He was always upbeat. He always had an idea for a song or a good story. He truly brightened the day when he came in. I looked forward to his clinic days. Sorry to hear of his passing. Know that he made a difference with his mere presence.

It is with great fondness I remember Kenny. His band played at my 16th birthday party as well at other houses in the Kenmore area ... such sweet times in the late 60's.. I will always remember him as kind and gracious. My deepest condolences to the entire Ash family.

Ken was a year ahead of me at Kenmore High School. He was a great guy and the envy of many of the underclass girls. I am so sorry to hear of his suffering and passing at such a young age. I thought fondly of him and will remember him with a smile. My heart goes out to loved ones & friends who grieve.
