We enjoyed having Ken in our exercise class at the Wallingford Senior Center where we often had such interesting conversations over lunch. 'Had great talks about his love of music, which we enjoyed at concerts at the Center and at Wallingford Chorus concerts. Ken was so kind as to procure a special bracket for my Father's violin which I've been waiting for years to hang over our piano!May God grant him eternal rest.

I remember double-dating with Kenny in high school! We lost touch for years, but reconnected via Facebook several years ago. He kept me advised about his gigs, and I did the same for my Yalesville Fife & Drum Corps gigs.
So very sorry to hear of his passing. He was such a gentleman and really decent person. Rest easy, Ken.

This came as such a shock to me . Ken was such a genuine person that was known by many in Wallingford as well as in the local music scene . He truly was a gentleman and a sincere person . He will be missed by many I'm sure . Rest In Peace Kenny

Ken was a wonderful friend. We were friends since we were in high school and before, in Wallingford. We had recently re-established our friendship through the Classmates website and by phone. We made plans to meet, either in CT or NY, but our schedules were difficult to arrange. I sincerely, wish we had. Sending him love, prayer, and good thoughts. I am sure his soul and spirit are rising. Love, Lynn Conte

Sorry and shocked to hear of Ken's passing. I didn't know him well, but he seemed to be a quiet, gentle man. I loved his solo rendition of James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" at our last concert. The Wallingford Chorus will miss Ken. Rest in peace.
