I remember Ken as one of my students at JC High School. He was always smiling and boy did we laugh because he always cracked me up. He was a good football player and wonderful teammate, something that Coach Gottfried often shared with me. My condolences to his wife and family.

Brother Dave & Karen - Our most Sincere Condolences to you both. I always considered Kenneth John a Good Friend, and I will miss him dearly. My favorite Memories include St. Mike's Men's Club, and celebrating a Redskins TD with our best "Fun Bunch" impersonation. Eternal be His Memory. George

Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. I really liked Ken, and admired the interaction between you two as what a marriage should be. He was a good person, and those are few and far between. God bless.
