Not sure what to say?

His dedication to was incredible. He sent amazing flowers to Lucia that were enjoyed by all staff and students at the high school every start of our school year. The library was an amazing place that was the hub of our school. Thank you Ken! Thank you Lucia! What a lovely gift Mercer Island received by him sharing one of the finest librarians I had the privilege to work with.

I remember both Ken and Lucia when they and Ken's brother Keith were piano students of Eva Neuman in West Seattle along with myself and my brother Bob. Some years ago I shared with Ken and Lucia a couple of piano recital programs noting the pieces we all played. We all had a good laugh. Ken went on to become a fine lawyer and mentor to many lawyers who followed in his footsteps. He will be missed. Sorry we will be out of town tomorrow and unable to attend the memorial service.

Ken was a great mentor to me when I was a young woman. In the late 1970's he encouraged me to become a lawyer, a career I had never considered. I would not be who I am today without his influence. He had tremendous energy, intelligence, wisdom, kindness and grace. His many contributions to the law and the community evidence his endless generosity. He will be very much missed.

I have been privileged to consider Ken a friend and a mentor. He was a consummate professional; unswervingly generous to me and to so many, many others; a role model for me as a teacher and a lawyer. The Washington legal profession, and the estate planning community in particular, are richer for having had him in their midst for so many years, and are the poorer for his passing. The UW School of Law, too, has been blessed by his passionate support over many years. Thank you Ken for all...

By his shining example, Ken inspired us all to be better--to be more compassionate and professional as attorneys and more responsible as citizens. As another tribute posted here has said far better than I could, Seattle will never be the same without this very distinguished gentleman. My deepest condolences to his family.

We send our thoughts, love and prayers to you Lucia and your family. Ken was dedicated, accomplished and an all around nice gentleman. Jon & I were present in 2015 when Ken's name was placed in the "Hall of Fame" at his alma mater-West Seattle High School.

I will always remember Ken's wit and kindness and the wonderful openness and hospitality to his sister's friend visiting from college. Here's to a life well lived! Joyce Nelson

I remember when Ken spoke at the memorial service for my mom (his Aunt Lucille) and said "San Francisco will never be the same" and now, "Seattle will never be the same."

Ken was a friend and colleague, and a mentor to many. My husband knew him from their youth, and always thought fondly of him. Our condolences to the family.
