Kenneth "Ken" Bitting

We were so sorry to hear about Ken. He always had an enthusiastic "Hello" and a great smile on his face every time we saw him. What a wonderful full life he led. It's always sad to learn so much about a friend after they have gone, but know your family must be very proud of him. So glad you made it all the way down to George Town on your Bahamas trip--what great memories. Please know we are thinking of you and sending our love. Toby and George

Jennifer,
My sincere condolences to you and your family. May you carry the warmth of his spirit forever in you heart. - Rich

Carol and I will miss Ken and his ready smile and firm handshake.

So glad we had the chance to see Ken ad Virginia here in Florida and in Mystic and share sailing stories. So sorry to hear of his passing.

Adrienne, sorry for your loss.... hugs and sympathy, Donna Robin

Not often do you get to know a friend that is always adventurous, cheerful, caring, intelligent, disciplined yet wild in his own ways. Ken, Ginny and their family brought joy to all and Ric and I will always have an image of Ken just like he was in this photo on Trio Con Brio off the coast of Maine where we connected in 2011. We will all miss you Buddy!

We shared many good times both on and off the job. From the wonderful sauna group gatherings, annual parties at Breezy Island, or adventures in skiing and boating, it was always a pleasure to share time together. His indomitable spirit, perseverance and positive attitude served him well throughout his...

A legacy in so many ways! A treasured man, memory and example for living life to the fullest. Al Allen
