I have just learned of the passing of Ken...and am in such disbelief..and grief. My thoughts at a time like this and after all these years is he is still my C&L first baseman, my Patriot road-trip buddy, and for all the times where Ken brought and still brings a smile to my face. There are no words to describe the loss of Ken and I offer Carolyn and your entire family the strength during such a difficult time.

Dear Carolyn, Eleanor, Ken and family,
I just heard the sad news of Ken's passing and my heart broke for all of you.
I knew Ken as a classmate and member of the track team at GHS, and haven't seen him since our 20th class reunion. I have fond memories of his (very) patiently helping me study for a science final our Junior year. He was such a nice person and had a way of elevating all those around him with his kindness and wonderful sense of humor. I can imagine him...

We remember Ken of course for his wit and charm, but also his sense of focus and direction. He had great integrity which is a tribute not only to him, but his parents. We are very saddened. May God bless you all.
