Kenneth Dave Hawbaker

Rest In Peace my friend. Wow, we had a great run together at TWSJ and it was my honor to know and work with you for over 40 years. You were a great leader and visionary all those years and we really developed a great team that was tops at the paper. We keep your family, Maureen and you in our prayers daily.

I have never forgotten our races in my little VW around the track up by the airport in Glasgow. That was fun, and the road from that time and place has been long in distance and time. But you have always been a great brother and the same wonderful fellow who warmly welcomed me into the family. I have never forgotten that, Kenny. I miss you bunches already. I’m sure the VW is up there with you. Keep it running until I show up, will you? Love you, man!

For anyone who knew this man you were a better person for it. I worked for him when I worked at the WSJ and him and my Steve were great friends. Gosh Kenny I know you are in a better place with no pain but goodness I am Sad. I know You and Steve should be hanging out Rest In Peace my friend

Sorry to learn that Kenny has passed. I remember the day he we hired him at the Wall Street Journal Ad Dept in Chicopee. I said, "What was a guy from Montana doing here?" Turned out he became a good friend. We always talked about Watergate!

Kenny was one of the best! I worked in the San Francisco ad sales office and talked pretty much daily with him and Harry Calhoun and their amazing team of people. Loved the Orlando office! Went there for work once and was thrilled to meet him & hang out in person.

Miss & love you forever my brother. My memories of growing up with you as my hero are powerful. Rest In Peace & I will see you again. Sympathies and love to Alyssa, Lyndsey and families at this difficult time.

A heartfelt thank you for your service to our country. Rest In Peace.

My heart is broken. Been many years, but Ken taught me so much. I called him "Kenny Claus" because he was always treating people to dinner and cocktails! He was the life of the gathering! My condolences to the family! Good speed Ken...

Ken was one of best people I ever worked with, but not afraid to push back when I made fun of him. Rest in peace, sir.
