Kenneth J. "Ken" Kaiser

I'm very sad to hear of this news, Ken was one of my favorite Umpire's. HE made me laugh many times!! Thank You Ken!! R.I.P

So sad to hear this news. I had a dream of him last night and he held my hand so I woke with a feeling and googled his name. I met ken when I worked at the holiday inn in phila in 1994. I helped him find the other umpires that were in different hotels in Philly. We became instant friends and I traveled with him and his other friends to Canada, Baltimore, Florida and other places. He had the biggest warmest heart any man could have.I visited him in his home in NY and he showed me all his...

Larger than life in many ways. I have so many great memories of all the times we spent. You were a great friend. Kenny, you will forever be in my heart.

Ken
Was one of my training umpires in the 70
And my friend
I will miss him alot
My prayers are with the family

1958 on..... good ballplayers came to the field on Arnett Blvd for pickup baseball games, every morning.

Nothing started til Kenny got there to officiate ( for
nothing!!!) He treated the game like it was a major leaque game even in those days.

It was like... " how could we play without Kenny,"

We played 2,3 4 games , hard or softball he stood in there !!!

Afterwards, we went down the street to the Wallraths house for Kool Aide!

No one ever argued with...

my condolences to the Kaiser family.
I didn't know Kenny very well but I knew him from high school (west high). what I did know was all good. when you say big man on campus you got you got to be talking about him because he was the biggest. one of the things I remember most about ken in high school, are the lunch periods on the front lawn of the school and playing , mount the donkey, I think that is what is was called. yeah, ken was alright with me. may he rest in peace.

My condolences to Ken's family. I grew up on the west side of Rochester. Knew Ken since high school. He was an individual and a loved character. RIP big fellow.

I am sorry for the loss of this good man, my heart goes out to the family. He will be sadly missed by many. Meeting him and know he was famous, did not change how i treated, i looked to up to him as my friends dad, nothing more or less. i will always miss the sport talk, that i never got, but he love trying.
