My deepest sympathies to Ken's parents, sisters and extended family. Ken shared many great moments with those of us who went to high school with him and beyond. He had great talent, brilliance and sensitivity. He will be missed by many more than he could have imagined.

I'm sorry to learn of Ken's passing. My condolences to his family and friends. We were friends during our high school years. I haven't seen him since but have fond memories of Ken and other friends playing music with Ken on piano. He was very talented.
