I was thinking about Ken just the other day. We had so many great times together while working together and during many of the boondoggles we incorporated into our work.

What a wonderful human being Ken was and I am blessed to have known him

You will be in prayers and I know God will confort you. I have known Ken for many many years. He was always an encourager to me. His smile would light up my day. He was always a model employee for me. I know he'll be a model angle for God also.

Knowing how I felt, I had to take a moment to convey my deepest condolences to his family and friends. May the memories of good times comfort you.

He was a good man and will be missed by everyone at E-Z-EM.

I'd like pay to pay my respects to Ken and his family. I am a good friend to his son, and although I did not know Ken very well he must have been a wonderful example and teacher to his son Ryan because it reflects in Ryan's kindness and his ability to work hard and get along with others. I wish the Gilliam family the best and hope that they will be able to take this as an experience that will help them to grow even closer.

To the Gillam family:

My heart goes out to you in this most difficult time. I, as many others, knew Ken through work at DuPont. We sent many happy years together in both the mid-west and westen zones. I'll never forget Ken's great sense of humor. He'll be missed by many.

I want to extend my heart felt sympathies to the Family of Ken Gilliam. I had known Ken for years going back to my early DuPont days when I was a rep in Sioux Falls, SD and Ken was in Omaha. The last time we visited was at the RSNA in Chicago two years ago. I remember teasing him about how his hair had actually seemed to "get darker" over the years!

I am deeply saddened to hear the news and my prayers are with the family.

Ken and I spent had some great times

together while Ken was with Dupont.

Ken helped me a great deal when I was first learning the xray business. It has been a number of years since I had any contact with Ken but remember the times we had together like they were yesterday. I will miss Ken.

ps Ken - If you can read this, I hope you quit smoking.
