My heart is sadden of the news of his passing. He was such a great friend to my parents and long time friend with my father. They went to theSputh Pole together. My prayers are with his family.

KEN has always been a special SEABEE friend at Island X1. I will remember our conversations stemming from our similar home backgrounds and Navy experiences. Be assured of many thoughts and prayers.

Ginger, Wendy and Jeff:

Our condolences on the passing of Ken. He was a wonderful member of the family and always had great stories. I remember watching old 8mm footage of Antarctica and hearing him tell all about the work and conditions down there - fascinating. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
