Not sure what to say?

You are always in my heart.

You were a great man, papa. -Grandson

I have many occasions to remind me of you and have gratitude. Thank you Ken.

I remember you every day, with gratitude. You are on my desk with many other memorabilia.

Ken was the epitome of medical knowledge , as well as having the ability to communicate complicated medical issues to his patients and lastly he was always approachable. He was a loyal friend.

At med school reunion on Zoom Kenny’s passing was noted. We were good friends sharing the trials and tribulations of going through the med school challenges but had some fun as well.

My mentor, teacher and father figure..I think of you everyday and thank God for being part of your life. I could never repay you for the positive and instrumental lessons you taught me to be successful personally and professionally. You are missed by many but your legacy is legendary to all those whose life you touched and saved.
Love Lor.

We only wish we could have known him longer.

The nicest thank you letter I have ever received.

I just found out of Dr. Ken's passing yesterday while talking with Carmen about the wood flooring I had installed in their previous home on Missouri Ave.

I met Ken and Carmen in 1987 when they decided to put cherry wood floors throughout their home after seeing the same flooring I had done in another clients home who happened to be one of Dr. Ken's patients. They are without a doubt two of the nicest clients and much more than that, two of the nicest people I have had the pleasure...
