My sincere condolences to the Carroll family. I worked with Ken over the last couple of years and he honestly was one of my favorite people. We had a lot in common including both being Irish and from Michigan; and we always had the most interesting personal conversations. Ken was a lovely soul and touched the lives of many. He will be greatly missed but his memory will live on.

Erin go Brah!

So sorry for your loss.

Ken, I was chocked to hear this, so many challenges to solve in the buildings industry.

I will miss your passion for Smart buildings, and our conversations around boxing, ancient history, and productivity.

May you rest in peace!

Christina, David and Simon, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Ken. He was such a bright and positive force. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times in the Cancer Center in Needham and enjoyed talking to him about Dublin. Take care of each other at this difficult time. Brid O'Connor

Ken was one of the kindest men I have ever known. He was introduced to me as a pioneering Technology Fellow in the Deloitte firm, and he served as a mentor and inspiration in my first year after I joined his ranks. Ken had wit, charm, and a fierce intellect that I will forever admire. He was quite literally one of the finest fellows I have ever known. Godspeed Ken and may you know the answers now to all of the truly big questions.
