Ken was part of the senior center bridge group. He was a wonderful man and excellent partner. We met briefly when he arranged for us to play at Avery before the new center was completed. My sincere condolences on your loss.
God bless. Rachel Mahar

Dear Fran,

We have so many fond memories of Ken. He definitely was a gentleman, who truly loved his family. Ken and Fran were always there to host a family gathering at their beautiful home in Needham. He always showed interest in talking with you regarding schooling, job, sports and your ideas on politics and was ready to give you advice on these matters. We are so very fortunate to have him in our family. We will miss you Ken, RIP.

Your sister-in-law & brother-in-law,
