I was saddened to hear of the death of your Kenneth Kent. I remember him fondly when he learned to play the piano and when he supported my parents and I with a vacation as well as support during our sad times in 2004.

My sincere condolences for the loss of Kenny. A superb interventional cardiologist and kind, gracious manhe is missed by all. We share in this loss.
When he came to FDA, I invited him to lunch to welcome him to his new job after leaving Washington Hospital Center. Over spicy Thai food, we had the most wonderful conversation about interventional cardiology. I will always remember this discussion. His spirit lives on in all of us.
You and your...
