I worked with Ken for more than 20 years. He had not only an astute lawyer, a real gentleman but had an extraordinary sense of humour. I was proud to call him my friend. He will be missed.

I am saddened to learn that Mr Lerner passed away. He was a very respected gentleman at SGI. He was always willing to chat with you whether you were riding the elevator (or waiting for it)with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
