I worked with Ken at Albertson's in the late 1960's at the Walker Road Store. Ken and I were quite a pair......me being 6foot 4 inches and Ken being just a tad bit shorter. Ken was a great worker and was always willing to teach me the "trick's" of the produce business. Ken was a great asset to Albertson's and in the time I worked with Ken he was more then willing to help me build displays and "ROTATE THOSE FRUITS and VEGETABLES". Ken had great sense of humor and we always shared fishing and hunting stories when we worked together.
I believe that when I worked at Good Samaritan Hospital as a nurse I came in contact with Ken's daughter Debra.
I am very sorry for your lose and I know that I will remember Ken for his humor, fabulous work ethic and his friendship when we worked together.
