Jim and I met Ken and Shirley in Vermont when we responded to their ad in the local paper -- "Philosopher, potter, and dog need housing" -- and sub-let our house to them. That was the beginning of an incredibly rewarding friendship that stretched from Vermont to Washington state over forty-plus years. We will miss Ken vey much, and send our love and respect to his family.

Condolences to Carl and the rest of the family. Reading some of the memories people have left for Ken,It is evident he really lived a full life with many achievements. I remember him from the teenage and young adult years in Salt Lake, before he left. He was a witty fellow with a great sense of humor.

I remember Ken from our younger years in Salt Lake. Times at the U of U, riding State Street, events at church. He was a witty guy with a great sense of humor. Reading his obituary, I see that he lived a full and exciting life, making some great friends along the way. Can't ask for much more. Condolences to Carl, and the rest of the family.

Ken was a unique and interesting individual. My favorite memories were of lunch at Handy's and the three days I traveled with him to Cape Canaveral for the annual BPI technical committee meetings. No matter when or where I went with Ken, it seemed he had been there before and could share a good story about it. I miss those times. Rest in peace Ken

I was lucky to work with Ken on a few projects for the Vermont Weatherization Program and I am very grateful for the knowledge I (we) gained from him. What a really smart man. But more so, I'm thankful to have stayed in touch with him as a person. What a really good, funny and humble guy. He left a huge mark, but will be missed.
