Not sure what to say?

I met Ken in the Summer of 1980 when we both had solo gigs playing at a little bar in Hawley, PA. We shared the same taste in music so he moved out to State College in the Fall when I went back to school. We started a band called Partners In Crime, a classic rock band doing everything from the Beatles to Queen, Genesis, and Pink Floyd. We were active in the area until around Thanksgiving 1981 when we called it quits. We played the Brewery, The Phyrst, The Shandygaff, Gatsbys, and some...

Fond memories of Ken from my college days. Amazing man and will be missed. Thank you for the many nights of stress relief with your music. You will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

Ken was the best musician in town. He had an ear for detail and an incredible voice. I can't explain how much he influenced me and likely many other musicians in the area. His rendition of Harvest Moon still makes me weep. Ken, I'm sure you are in a better place and you will be missed. Much love to you and your family.

Angie, I have always enjoyed listening to Ken. Thinking of him and you brings back good memories. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Beth Kennedy

Ken was an amazing person, kind, an incredible musician, and touched the lives of all who had the priveledge to meet him. While I only knew him for a short time, his personality was such that you could never forget him. I offer my condolences to his family, he will be sorely missed.

Anjie, Kyle and family,
Ken's kindness, friendship were a gift that I and many were blessed with. Decades of late night music and fun and singing Beatles Songs with him will remain cherished memories for me. He effected all he met with kindness and a smile and enjoyed his life and sharing his talets with others. He will be missed greatly, but will live with us in spirit. Peace to all.
