Godspeed Ken! You were a wonderful mentor, terrific person, and a true friend! Madhavi, my family, and I, will all dearly miss your kindness, unbridled generosity, and most important--the friendship that you shared with me over the years.
You were a shining light in so many people's lives--selflessly sharing yourself and your legal talent to making the world a much better place. I will cherish our memories we shared together as forever they will remain. You were a true friend! May God's peace be with you Ken! Godspeed!

I worked with Ken for many years in the late 80's through mid-90's during my time with Child Welfare and CASA. He was a champion to those less fortunate and in need. He always had kind and positive words for the people around him. Our community has lost a wonderful man.

Ken was a special attorney who put his heart into representing his clients and helping in the community. I will miss seeing him around the courthouse. RIP Ken.

Ken was one of the first people I met when I came to Lafayette in 1994. I worked closely with him off and on for 23 years. He was a kind and compassionate person, a loyal friend, and a wonderful advocate for his clients. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will be in all of the people he helped over the years. Goodbye, my friend.
