Not sure what to say?

I worked for Ken a little bit at the Mayacamas Ranch. He was a very down to earth human being when you consider how much he accomplished in his short life. I knew he had passed, but recently found this page :-)

I worked with Ken ever so briefly at Preview Travel, but I always remember him. He was one of my first bosses and he always had a kind word, a funny quip, and a twinkle in his eye. I was so saddened to hear from Ellen Dunne about this terrible tragedy.

Ah Ken...we will so miss that incredible smile and generous laugh! We will always treasure those early years with Ken and Laurie: the book club gatherings; dancing in the backyard; our engagement party at your house; your engagement party at our house; the fun we had at Moet-Chandon and Calistoga! Our hearts are breaking for you, Laurie. Hugs--Ann & Chris

I also worked with Ken Orton as Preview Media's commercial real estate consultant during the early days. I am very sad to hear about Ken's passing and I extend my sympathy to his family.

Laurie, Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Hugs to you and Ken's family, Jerry and Marcia

Our prayers are with you, Laurie, in these dark days. Our condolences to Ken's family and sons, as well.
With Sympathy,
