Kenneth A. Kovach

Just discovered this obituary online after I ran across these photos of Ken and me. We were fast friends in high school and after graduation we bought a `55 dodge for $150 and drive it 13,000 miles around the country and into Mexico and Canada. Ken was adventurous to say the least, and smart enough to get me to do his math homework for him.

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Kovach. He was truly a great person. I had him for two classes back in 1995/1996 at GMU. Everytime I hear of labor relations in the news, I always think of him and the wisdom and insight he had. I even found myself watching his classes on the GMU-TV show as recently as last fall. He was still the same and would always preface things with" don't write this down but..." or "Now you do care, start writing" He was a great man and will be missed. My...

I found out of Dr. Kovach's passing today. I am not only shocked but, very sadden about the news. He was a true inspiration and one of the best professors I had at GMU. He will be missed by those who new him. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I was truly shocked to hear of the death of Dr. Kovach. Several of my classmates and I were unable to concentrate in class once we heard the news of his passing. He was a great teacher, lecturer and a wonderful story teller. I will always remember him!

I just discovered today when I received the GMU alumni newsletter by email that Dr. Kovach had passed away. I am deeply saddened -- he was my favorite professor at GMU and I enjoyed seeing him on the GMU cable network. Whenever I saw him on TV, I would always tell my daugther how great of a professor he was. My condolences go out to his family.

I am a sister-in-law to Bill Kovach..Ken's brother. We heard many wonderful stories of Ken and are sad to hear of his death. My prayers are with his wife and kids.

I am proud to be the younger brother of Ken Kovach. He and I always had very different philosophies on most aspects of living. A marine and a hippie traversing the North American and European continents together. Fiercly competing on everything from the ballfield to the tennis courts to the card table. Never losing respect for each other while disagreeing constantly...Ken, you were a mans man and you will always be a hero in my eyes.
